Jon Fuller, a member of South East Essex Friends of the Earth, said the group “vigorously supports” clean air schemes across town and city centres. The zones are areas where a fee is charged for driving the most polluting vehicles.
Mr Fuller said a congestion charge style scheme would help tackle climate change and air pollution.
*sighs* Really? Well, no. As he himself admits!
“Our preference is for a ULEZ in town and city centres in south Essex because we don’t want to divert traffic from arterial roads, such as the A13 and A127, to minor roads.
“If a congestion charge was implemented, it won’t make a difference because people will move to less major roads to avoid the cost.”
Make up your mind, man!
“However, becoming a ULEZ will encourage people to get rid of their old cars, such as diesel motors, for a more environmentally-friendly model.
“In turn, this will help improve the air quality in south Essex.”
I know something else that would do that. Can you guess what it is?
Invents the narrative as he goes, somehow got into a position of power.
