Comment | Manufacturing new vehicles (that wouldn't otherwise be required) produces huge amounts of pollutants.
A charge (rather than exponentially escalating fines) would eliminate the vast majority of journeys and slash localised emissions, whilst minimising the economic damage.
I notice that the Showmen's Guild (who operate and move funfair equipment) have been given a waiver on the new restrictions. Their particulates are just as damaging as anybody else's, have they just got better lobbyists? |
