Apologies if this has already been discussed or known about but if it has probally a good idea to keep it in the spotlight.

Posted on 19/09/2019 14:15 by DaveandVickiI thought that petition had sunk, or is this a different one to David Klyne's post previously?

I am sure its the same but the nature of this forum is that threads get swallowed up never to be seen again!!! The petition is here https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/268246 It has had a reply from Government as it passed the 10000 signature mark. Whether people don't know about it but as JVB says it needs at least 100000 signatures for it to be discussed in Parliament. For that I suspect we would need to get a lot of our caravanning friends to sign as well.

The thrust of these road tax increases appears to be to discourage us ( the vehicle buying public) from upgrading our more polluting older vehicles for cleaner newer ones ?? or have I got it wrong ? present M/H £265 per annum , new M/H, unknown but thousands over its first 5 years.
Present car £30 per annum. a new car..at least £140 and possibly also thousands over the first 5 years. So, No new motorhome, and no new car electric or otherwise for the foreseeable future.
Do they know what they are doing ??

...but why exclude the larger, more polluting 'over 3.5t' vans from the new legislation...?
theres always been an anomaly regarding mh which fall into these two categories (PLGV and PHGV) where the larger, heavier vehicle has a smaller VED.
that gap looks set to widen considerably, what message does that send?
as long as they hold the appropriate license groups, wont folk just buy larger vans or just upplate their small, light chassis'd vans to 3650kg.
yes, there might be the odd implication....lower speed limits etc but, hey, what a saving...
or as Ray suggest, dont blooming bother...
