Young people have fuelled a decline in car ownership among nearly a third of England's population, as they turn instead to electric scooters and bicycles, new figures reveal. It is a trend seen largely in wealthy urban areas among adults aged 18 and over. Car ownership was also affected by financial status. Areas with the largest decline in car ownership have an average house price of £325,000, compared with £215,000 in areas where ownership increased. London - which commands some of the highest property prices in the country - saw the biggest dip in car ownership.
