Green Policies Crush Economies

Monday, 10 June 2024

Many cities in the United Kingdom are implementing green policies aimed at reducing car usage by making it more difficult and expensive to drive.

These policies are enforced as part of the mad rush to Net Zero They are being implemented without an any mandate from the public.

Here are the painful consequences of the policy:

  1. Increased Costs and Restrictions Councils are implementing measures that force car travel to be more expensive and less convenient. This includes increases in parking charges and reduced availability of parking spaces, making it harder for people to drive into city centers.

  2. Forcing People Out Their Cars By increasing walking and cycling infrastructure and doubling public transport options, councils are forcing out their cars The stated goal is to increase walking and cycling by 300% and double public transport usage. What if you don’t want to walk or can’t walk or if you’ve got lots of things you want to carry? No answer given!!

  3. Impact on Business These policies are having a negative impact on businesses. If people find it too difficult or expensive to drive into the city, they may be less likely to visit, which leads to reduced foot traffic for local businesses.

  4. No Mandate The public was never asked about net zero measures They are being implemented without a mandate from the British people. There was nothing in the manifestos of the major parties, including Conservative and Labour, that talked about taking cars away from people or severely restricting their use.
