SNP ramps up war on motorists as it proposes parking space cuts, speed limits reductions and charging to drive in city centresThe Scottish Government published its climate change plan which included even more punishments for motorists to get them to stop driving their vehicles. The Scottish Government published its climate change proposals on Tuesday - and it includes a new target to reduce car kilometres. Transport Scotland is currently exploring whether councils have the power to bring in road charging schemes, which would see motorists charged either per mile or per day for driving in regions or towns and city centres. Councils already have the power to introduce workplace parking levies which charges businesses to own parking spaces, but none have introduced this. And more broadly, how will the Scottish Government ensure the drive to net zero will not disproportionately impact motorists?"
