Nationwide road-pricing proposed by government
Nationwide road pricing schemes could be introduced under proposals being drawn up by Douglas Alexander, the Transport Secretary.
The plans to combat rising traffic congestion are one of several bills expected to be included in the next Queen’s speech.
The introduction of such a scheme could be up to 10 years away but Alexander is understood to be keen to launch pilots in some of the country’s largest metropolitan areas much sooner.
