Taxes and Charges on Road Users

CPRE evidence to the Transport Select Committee

The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) believes that the environmental and social costs of more road traffic are now exceeding the benefits.  While there are special circumstances in more remote rural areas, overall, we believe road users, particularly HGVs, ought to pay more to reflect the increasing environmental and social costs of motor traffic and to help narrow the gap between the cost of motoring and public transport.

New The Major Road Network

Memorandum of Evidence by the Campaign to Protect Rural England to the Transport Select Committee Inquiry

CPRE's evidence recommends ending the expansion of the trunk road network which creates more traffic in country and town, seriously damages quality of life and increases carbon emissions, without improving real accessibility for rural areas. This document shows why any new transport schemes must improve accessibility rather than give hypothetical time savings, and why transport policy must give urgent priority to the promotion of car sharing and the reduction of car dependency.
