Motorists paying additional fuel costs
A post claims that UK motorists have incurred an additional £300 million in fuel costs as a consequence of international conflict.
Reduce Fuel Duty to below £0.20 per litre
The Government should fund a reduction in fuel duty to below £0.20 per litre. This could help young people become more mobile – particularly in areas where public transport is insufficient- allowing them to get jobs further away and access recreational activities.
Raise fuel duty in line with inflation to raise income for critical services
In 2000 fuel duty on petrol was 49p/litre. Since then, it has not risen with inflation, and currently sits at 53p/litre. We believe raising the duty to 93p/litre would raise significant revenue for the Treasury.
Make petrol and diesel tax free
Stop taxing petrol and diesel. Freedom of movement is a fundamental human right. We believe the petrol and diesel combustion engine is what fuels our freedom and we shouldn’t be taxed on one of our basic human rights.
Reduce bus fare cap to £1.75 for journeys less than 5 miles & freeze for 3 years
Review the national bus fare cap and reduce for shorter journeys. Currently the cap is £3 for a single, which means passengers may be paying £6 a day return. Reduce the cap for shorter journeys (under 5 miles) to £1.75 and freeze the current £3 limit for at least 3 years for journeys over 5 miles.
