Rishi Sunak Promises to End War on Drivers by Reversing Ulez Expansion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

RISHI Sunak has vowed to end the \u201cwar on drivers\u201d by reversing the expansion of the Ulez daily car charge. If re-elected, the PM will bring in legislation to stop Labour imposing additional costs on motorists. And the introduction of low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and 20mph zones would be subject to a local poll, he said. If 15 per cent of residents objected to an existing scheme, there would be a vote on whether it should be binned. There would also be a block on any pay-per-mile road taxes amid concerns Labour politicians considered the measure when last in office. Tory fears were heightened after road user charging technology was tested in London.<\/p>\n

Ending the “War on Drivers” with Ulez Reversal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Its Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan expanded Ulez \u2014 the Ultra-low emission zone \u2014 to the capital\u2019s outer areas last August for vehicles not meeting emission standards. Those whose motors fail to do so must pay \u00a312.50 a day. It has caused concern that the measure could make it too costly for some people to get to work or attend hospital appointments. Mr Sunak said: \u201cWe\u2019ve a clear plan to keep motoring costs under control and ensure people have the freedom to drive as they need to lead their daily lives. \u201cWe will empower drivers and local residents to challenge aggressive and punitive traffic-inducing measures, such as low traffic neighbourhoods that were imposed without local consent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rishi Sunak’s Plan for Motorists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Transport Secretary Mark Harper claimed Labour aimed to \u201ctax drivers off the roads\u201d.<\/p>\n
