Parking Policy - The Richmond Experiment

The Richmond Council proposals to charge extra parking charges for gas guzzling vehicles will be interesting to watch. No doubt Sutton Council will wait to see the impact before trying it out itself.

Green charges and taxation is clearly developing, however it is probably more effective to tax use of cars and use road tax to tax types of cars.

I hope other local authorities try out other green taxation schemes so all can be evaluated in the next year or so.
