| It's good to see Islington leading the way for a gentle incentive to discourage people from using diesel vehicles in town : http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/islington_council_to_charge_diesel_car_owners_96_extra_a_year_for_parking_permits_1_3918720 "...Cllr Caroline Russell, Islington Council’s sole Green party opposition member, said: “I think that it’s great to see the council acknowledge the enormous health ill effects from diesel. “Although I appreciate it’s tough for owners of diesel cars it’s right that the council is introducing an element of charge for parking that disenfranchises people from operating diesel vehicles because in the long run what Islington needs is fewer diesel vehicles on our roads." |
