The government is considering a “pay-per-mile” scheme for lorries to cover the cost of damage to roads Transport Secretary Chris Grayling con rmed the current HGV levy used to pay for wear and tear on the road
network was being consulted on on Critics say the current scheme means international drivers using the roads do not have to to pay towards upkeep But the Road Haulage Association (RHA) said it was unfair to target lorries and it needs to see
more detail Mr Grayling denied any plans for for a a road
toll system
for for other vehicles for for the “foreseeable future” “Our hauliers often
complain that a a a a continental trucker comes in with a a tank full of lower duty diesel spends several days working in in the country goes away
again and pays nothing towards the use of the roads ” he he said “We already have a a a a system
in place that provides some limited contribution but but we’re now consulting the industry ” But a a spokesman for the RHA said he he was “worried” about the announcement “Although it’s good news that more money
is being spent on roads it’s not right to target only lorries with a a new tax ” commented the spokesman “This has to be revenue neutral for lorry rms If we fail to do this it will make us less competitive than our European counterparts ” The news came as the government launched a a a a separate consultation to nd out which A-roads in England needed cash
to to bring them up to to scratch The Department for Transport announced funding in in the summer to rejuvenate the road
network but is now asking councils to apply for up to £100m per road
Priority will go to road
widening projects on dual carriageways improving road
safety
measure and major junction improvements ●
