A FAIR DEAL FOR THE MOTORIST

“NO KHAN DO!!!” - IT’S HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

In 2016 Sadiq Khan was elected Mayor of London on a bland manifesto pledging to “Maintain the Congestion Charge at its current level” and tackle congestion through harmless-sounding measures like encouraging car clubs and managing road works. He would not have got elected if it had come out with punishing anti-motorist proposals like those in his draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy. There has been a lack of proper publicity for the controversial proposals - and even that his crucially important consultation is taking place. Does Mayor Khan have something to hide? This is why getting publicity and objections are important. NB The MTS consultation formally closed on 2 October 2017, so this page is largely historic. However the MTS issues won’t go away - you can still make a difference.

· THE ANTI-MOTORIST POSSIBILITIES ARE TRULY SHOCKING

There are four pages outlining the proposals in more detail.

The first covers:

• The threat of extending the Congestion Charge (road pricing) Londonwide, with boroughs charging motorists to use local roads
• New ways of paying for road use, with a view to slashing car use
• Taxation levels to discourage ownership of conventional vehicles
• The desire to take over VED (‘road tax’) and set the level.

The second covers:

• Measures to discourage car use
• Measures to reallocate road space away from drivers
• Gratuitous ‘car-free days’ and road closures using flimsy excuses
• Pernicious gestures against personal freedom, even on car-sharing!

The third covers.

• A ‘workplace parking levy’ – a tax on going to work
• Higher parking charges for conventional vehicles
• Reduction in the availability of private parking
• Hints about reducing station parking and drop-off points.

Other proposals and our positive alternatives are covered on a fourth page.

The above pages provide information on how to simply object to the proposals.

Please object a.s.a.p. and get your friends to do the same.

The Mayor and his PC crew are counting on you doing nothing and just paying up!

This campaign is non-party political and welcomes support from

all sections of the community. It is in no way opposed to

people using public transport, cycling or walking – far from it!

Rather it seeks recognition that car use can be an important part of

an integrated transport approach that meets people’s needs.

It is supported by the Alliance of British Drivers.

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
