Why this petition matters

Started by Francessca Ellison

For years, our government has increased “vehicle duty”. They’ve increased the veteran tax  which used to be free and abolished the half price 25year. Now they want to change the way our vehicles are taxed. Vehicle owners will be subject to a huge increase in vehicle duty. Family’s with family cars will potentially pay over £500 due to the weight of their vehicle. Small businesses will be crippled by the proposed increase. They don’t call it “Road Tax” because our roads are an absolute disgrace and they should be ashamed. Why should people who have “weekend cars” or campers suffer because the government want to squeeze that little bit more from us to make up for their bad decisions. There will be no incentive to buy eco friendly cars and the majority won’t be able to afford an electric vehicle. The government want us to support climate change but they going about it in a totally unfair way. It’s about time they followed Jersey and put the duty payable on Fuel. Fairest way for everyone! We need to stop this new category they are trying to sneak through which will double the price on your average family car. Show your support and leave a message with how it would affect you.
