Worst-polluting vehicles to pay double for parking under new payment structures

19 July 2023

Councils throughout the UK are implementing new car parking charges based on vehicle emissions, meaning that those driving the heaviest polluting vehicles could pay double. Several councils in the London area have already implemented these charges, and Lambeth is the latest to do so with 26 different charges for 1 hour of parking. The charge depends on the vehicle’s tax band and diesel surcharge. For example, parking for 1 hour at a bay near Waterloo station can cost between £6.30 and £13.23, depending on the above factors. These emissions-based... Read full article

The Department for Transport is set to fall short of its objectives for increasing active travel

12 July 2023

The National Audit Office (NAO) recently revealed in a new report that the Department for Transport (DfT) will fall short of three out of its four objectives for increasing active travel by 2025. This comes after the DfT announced in March that it will cut two-thirds of the funding which was to be invested into walking and cycling – a move which is being challenged by the Transport Action Network. In 2020, the UK government promised thousands of miles of new, curb-protected cycleways with the aim of shifting active travel to be the natural choice for people... Read full article

Road safety charity Brake calls for default 20MPH speed limits on urban roads

10 July 2023

Road safety charity Brake is advocating for 20MPH speed limits to be introduced as default on urban roads throughout the UK. Currently, the standard speed limit on this road type is 30MPH. However, a new consensus from road safety professionals says that 20MPH is the maximum safe speed limit in areas where traffic and pedestrians are in close proximity. Whilst local authorities are permitted to introduce 20MPH limits at their own discretion, the requirement for new infrastructure to support these changes, such as new signage, creates a barrier. According to Brake,... Read full article

UK government to extend fuel duty freeze and maintain 5p cut for the next 12 months

28 March 2023

It was announced in the recent Spring Budget that the UK government will extend the 5p cut in fuel duty for another year. The fuel duty freeze means it will be maintained at 52.95 pence per litre (PPL) until May 2024. This is excellent news for fleet managers who are already grappling with high fuel prices. Whilst the fuel duty freeze might have allowed you to let out the breath you've been holding since before the Budget, perhaps now you are turning your attention to reducing costs elsewhere. We understand that in the current... Read full article

French car parks will be required to install solar panels in the next 3-5 years

12 December 2022

In 2019, a French court ordered its Government to ‘repair’ the country’s emissions shortcomings between 2015 and 2018 by then end of 2022. With the deadline now looming, the French Senate has approved a bill which requires car parks with 80 or more parking spaces to install solar panels covering at least half the area of the car park itself. Car parks with 80-400 spaces has been set a deadline of five years (as of July 2023) to install solar panels, and those with more than 400 spaces have been set a deadline of three years from the same...
