Replace council tax with road pricing
We, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to Replace council tax with road pricing
It is proposed that council tax is frozen at current or reduced rates, and that councils are empowered to raise additional funds by local road pricing.
By progressively applying this policy, it is anticipated that road pricing may contribute about 50% of total local taxation.
In order to prevent abuse of this power, maximum rates per mile for various vehicle types should be issued by the government from time to time. Additionally, a regulator would be appointed to adjudicate unfair cases.
