A council in an affluent London area has been accused of 'greed' after expanding a scheme fining drivers £130 for entering a neighbourhood without a permit.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council in the fashionable west of the capital is targeting motorists who use five residential roads in a neighbourhood adjoining the River Thames.

It is believed to be Britain's first initiative of its kind which restricts access to public roads and virtually cuts off an entire residential area to all those without a permit.

The move has made the area a no-go for motorcyclists and delivery van drivers who are now having to find alternative routes to avoid the camera-controlled roads, while residents within the area must buy permits for anyone wishing to visit them.
