Petition Action

Incentivise the switch from diesel to electric & low emission petrol vehicles.

Petition Details

Diesel vehicles cause thousands of deaths per year and unnecessarily put huge pressure on the health service. An incentivised scrap & switch scheme for diesel vehicles is the only way the government can ensure pollution is reduced and diesel cars are taken off the road.
