Axe road tax and fuel duty says Nick Clegg
Road tax and fuel duty should be axed - but drivers would then be charged up to 12p a kilometre - under plans put forward by Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. The most polluting vehicles would incur a higher "showroom tax" and hauliers face a national lorry road user charge under a "sustainable and fair" system. However, Mr Clegg said his plans for higher Vehicle Excise Duty rates - rising to £2,000 a year on the most polluting cars - would only be a temporary measure until the tax was scrapped altogether within 10 years of a Lib Dem government.

At last night's meeting of the Implementation Executive the Lib Dems won approval for their proposal that such an assessment be made a condition of the Borough Council's support for any further spending by the County Council on the project to procure a new waste treatment site.
