iansheff Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just read that Westminster City Council are going to charge drivers of diesel cars 50% on top of the current rate of £4.90-an-hour to park. The scheme is likely to be an easy money-making scheme for the council and others could follow suit. Edmund King, president at the AA, told the Telegraph he expected it to "spread like wildfire". I wonder how long before SCC decide to follow suit. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/drivers-polluting-diesel-cars-hit-9709291 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inmates are indeed running the Asylum . Cars that dont have a catalytic converter, pre 1992, are dirtier than most diesels, will they have higher charges too? I would have thought all vehicle emissions sky rocket when accelerating hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The PTB have suddenly remembered that there are environmental issues other than CO2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So do all the traffic wardens now have to go round and plate check each car to see what fuel it uses? They'll probably scrap cash meters and you have to pay online - therefore putting in your reg number which will tie in with your car and fuel type.
