Scrap Clean Air Charge For Personally Owned Vehicles
Abolish the £10 per day charge for personal use vehicles and vans and only charge those owned by companies/fleet vans which do not meet Euro 6 emissions.
Many people drive a van as a personal vehicle; whether this is as a hobby, enthusiast or necessity as self-employed. the £10 per day charge currently only effects certain areas of the country, however will no doubt be rolled out nationwide eventually.
This is highly unfair especially to the smaller vans that use the same engines as diesel cars in some instances with the exact same emissions and CO2 levels yet they are not penalised.
Personal use and Self-Employed should not be penalised.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The operation of a clean air zone in any given city or area is a matter for the relevant individual local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could therefore raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here:
