Closed Revoke local government powers to charge CAZ, LEZ, ZEZ and ULEZ

Closed on

Local government should not have the power to introduce charges tied to public road usage and create charges for vehicles that have a Certificate of Conformity, meaning that they comply with strict legislation regarding safety, emissions, etc. at the time of production.

The buyer should have the right to use their vehicle on public roads without paying fees to various councils until it is no longer roadworthy or the UK Government deems it otherwise. People may not buy a zero-emission car, because some people may like petrol and diesel cars. After all, they may like the noise and the feel. People may think electric cars are boring, so if they want to drive any petrol or diesel car this should not be charged by any ZEZ, as this is taking away our liberty.
