"2018 budget reaction: Time for road tolls say civils "
https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/2018-budget-reaction-time-for-road-tolls-say-civils
someone seems to have forgotten the inordinate amount of money the chancellor gets from VED (road tax/vehicle excise duty) .....ONLY 12%, on average, of which ends up in the transport dept.'s coffers ... the rest just disappears into a vast black hole called the treasury
If it all went where it was intended to end up, seeing as we all pay it in varying levels, to use the roads and have them maintained/improved/etc., there wouldn't be such a huge issue in funding them and keeping the country on the move
as there are only 200,000 electric vehicles on the UK roads, out of 37,500,000, their loss of fuel revenue, etc., argument doesn't really hold much in the way of H2O
FFS spend the VED where it's supposed to be spent ..... not propping up anything/everything else
