Quick Response - Road Charges

This topic has attracted a great deal of interest and the attached results reflect responses to date.There is no doubt that the issue of Road Charges will remain uppermost as many other towns and regions venture into this sphere of motor taxation

Here are just a few of the comments that we have received over the last few weeks!

Motorists have paid enough, the treasury has received more than 80 billion from motorist congestion charges, fines etc over a decade so why have they spent less than a tenth of this on improvements, they have had more than enough to streamline our overcrowded over priced rail system, and improve the roads -rather than fill them with obstacles causing even more congestion. Any extra payments will only serve to fill the treasury coffers, we will never see the improvements that we will be paying for. It's just more,more to do less,less, from this incompetent government.

The mechanisms for collecting fuel tax are already in place. The further you drive the more tax you pay. It would be moronic to introduce a new, expensive and flawed system to tax per mile, when tax on fuel used does this already.

Compared to France we pay over the odds already for using a car, Yet the French have superb roads, even in the rural communities of the Pyrenees. There is very little investment in infra-structure, yet we appear to have been paying vast amounts of money into the coffers to help improve said infra-structure.

Have your say!

I suppose that for people, like myself, who live in the open countrside a road charge would have little impact until I choose to visit Edinburgh or Glasgow. But that would be my choice!

With congestion on the roads and the roads not being properly maintained it is so easy just to hit the motorist in the pocket. But how is that going to solve the problem?
