If you are a single issue advocate, you don’t have to worry about other stuff. Just keep on banging on about your chosen issue and leave the difficult choices of balance to others.

Looks like the UK government are going to be dragged through the courts by clientearth for missing 4 of 5 legally binding emission targets. I wouldn't be surprised if all the upcoming CAZ's will be class D in future if they are to reduce emissions even more. https://airqualitynews.com/2021/03/1...ution-targets/

Oh Heck! I hope Mancunian's have got their bike chains oiled ! Speak of the devil! I read about Manchester wanting to implement a ZEZ (zero emission zone) back in 2019 but the pandemic put it all on the back burner like other local authorities CAZ's. We will know if this ZEZ is implemented at the end of this month. "The strategy outlines plans to make Manchester a ‘well-connected and zero-carbon city.’ The central aim is for 90% of all trips to the city centre in the morning peak to be made on foot, by cycle or on public transport before 2040." https://airqualitynews.com/2021/03/17/m ... -strategy/

It looks like the Bristol CAZ is going to happen, so the ZTT will be up for sale after the summer.
We can’t afford £9 a day to drive it. Mrs can’t afford £9 a day to go to work, so her car will go too.

On the subject of DD's, some over 75's who are upset by the withdrawal of their free TV licenses have cancelled their DD's, and, by changing to cheque payment, have caused TV Licensing god knows how much extra work and expense. I read somewhere that they were planning to take on extra staff to deal with all those extra cheques. |

As far as I've read it's still not been confirmed by government & is still penned in to start in Oct 21. Even Matchbox are going emissions free now https://todaynewspost.com/auto-news/...green-by-2030/

The Ultra low emission scheme due in London in October 2021 still bans (or charges) LPG cars if their original emission levels burning petrol are above the threshold. Where is the logic in this? Is this a n emissions issue or a revenue raising exercise? What is the position of other cities on LPG cars?

Cheques
Paying by cheque is ridiculous and encouraging others to do do is silly and small minded. If the council or BBC have extra costs because they have to bank cheques it will simply mean they have to raise their charges and the sensible ones will have to pay. You will be suggesting next that we all go down to the council offices and pay in bags of 1p coins.
Rovers drivers have the reputation of being dithery old men in the mould of Victor Meldrew. You certainly enhance this reputation, I certainly do not. Thank god iI have an MG!

Emission charges
I am thinking of upgrading my ZT-T to maybe a Rover 2000 TC auto or a 3500.
Exempt from MOT, tax, emission charges, half price Insurance and will go up in value I guess there is a good Rover 2000 owners club.
