View the feedback we have received on the Heavy vehicle charges consultation report 2021–22 paper.
- What are your views on the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers Meeting’s proposal to increase heavy vehicle registration and Road User Charges by 2.5 per cent in 2021–22?
Reject the proposal : 1: The purpose of a freeze on charges is to freeze the charges .. not to put them on hold with a re-coup later. 2: The COVID response should have proved that transport is vital for a population dependant on home delivery and supermarket shelves. In the current circumstances increases the cost overheads on transport represents an unnecessary risk to the viability of operators. 3: There is insufficient information in the report that the money raised for the heavy vehicle use of roads equates to the way in which the revenue demanded is actually spent.
