1. What are the unique selling points of your car
The Green Nissan can reach speeds of up to 200mph; it can be brought for less than twenty thousand pounds and will also be exempt forming most of the major road taxes. Another good point of this car is that it has a cable that enables you to charge your car at home, s there are reduced need to head to a recharge station.

2. There could be a problem for people recharging their cars, as this car is not supported at most petrol stations t the minute, do you have any way around this.
Well, jack, we plan to liaise with most petrol stations in order to have electric recharging stations there, however most people shouldn't’t need that as they should be able to simply recharge their car from home., for those journeys that are incredibly long, then it may be necessary to plan out your journey to ensure that you have enough power to reach your destination.

Why did you extend the congestion charge after promising that you wouldn't after your initial election?

Had this decision been planned for a long time or was it a choice that was made fairly quickly?

Will the congestion charge area get any bigger.

main project premotion

My station will be called LH Radio (the LH stands for London Hits radio). It will be aimed at the age range of 10 – 30, playing the most recent pop hits. The news stories themselves will be a mix of local stories, entertainment stories and international stories.

I would begin the broadcast by rounding up the main news stories which I will go onto later in this broadcast The main series will consist of a local story about Boris Johnson trying to extend the congestion charge zone, a national story about hoards closing down, and an international story about the arrival of the first affordable electric car developed by Nissan.

My local story wills b about Boris Johnson extending the congestion charge zone to all of greater London. This could be done in an outside report style, with people being called in to play government officials and also possibly views form the locals about the situation. I belied that if we could get someone to play Boris junco, then it would make this Tory seem incredibly real. In terms of extra details to this story, I would also say that some of the refund rules of the previous congestion charge are not available with this version. An example of this would be that as part of the new congestion charge rulings, blue badge holders would no longer be exempt format eh congestion charge.

My second news story would be a nest story with regards to the credit crunch. It would concern the store Harrods. Harrods is a luxury goods store that has been trading fro nearly 200 years, so therefore it would be a large shock to a great many people if this store closed. I would use a vox pop in this story to look at the views from the people who use Harrods. I would also use sound effects to create the impression of a Monster Sale.

My final story would be an international story with regards to the fact that Nissan has just completed work on an electric car that is incredibly cheap and affordable. I would have an interview from the president of Nissans Japanese branch. This interview would involve someone speaking with a foreign accent in order to increase authenticity. This interview would explain how powerful the car is and how environmentally friendly it is as well. I old also include some sound effects I this piece, in order to make it seem more authentic.
Nissans car can do 100mph, being released for under 20 thousand pounds
