A bit confusing. So would my 2009 diesel pay £7.35 which is plus 50% of the £4.90 for non diesels or £11.03 (rounded up) which is 50% again of the £7.35 that diesels from 2015 onwards are paying? Do you have to take a calculator with you to park or do the signs need to be clearer? Or is it just me?
I forgot to say, it's totally wrong.
Suddenly diesel owners are pariahs to be penalised at every turn. Like Baychimp said, we were encouraged to buy diesel vehicles, as diesel was seen as the better choice because it was a greener car, emitting less of the global-conning gas carbon dioxide than petrol models, and was kinder to the environment. This was only about 18 years ago but now they have decided diesel is not only less efficient but dirtier and more damaging to the environment than petrol. Yes, but who pays for their crappy decisions or the crappy scientific data, that's right US. Me thinks we should sue the gvt or the scientists with a Class Action. That would shake them up as there are about 14 million diesel vehicle owners in this country alone (not counting buses and lorries) and many other European countries have a high number too.
