FairFuelUK campaign in response to the Budget 2017

Fair Fuel

Howard Cox, Founder of the FairFuelUK Campaign says, this is great news for 37m drivers, the highest fuel duty in the world is frozen again.

We are grateful for the last seven years, the Government has been listening to our objective campaigning on behalf motorists, van drivers and hauliers.

A £690m local authorities urban congestion competition, whatever this is, is still tinkering with the massive problems of our appaling roads.

A Conservative Chancellor has missed yet again, a huge opportunity not announcing a significant UK wide roads investment plan that’s independently proven will increase GDP 4 times more than the billions of tax payers cash irrevocably cast in stone for HS2.

Why, capitalising in roads benefiting the economy, jobs, inflation, businesses, hugely reducing the next decade's £300bn cost of congestion and improving air quality, is repeatedly ignored by the Treasury is mystifying and a huge derogation in economic common sense." 

Charlie Elphicke MP, Chairman of the Fair Fuel APPG for Motorists and Hauliers, said: "The continued fuel duty freeze is welcome news for the hard-working classes of modern Britain. I’m delighted the Chancellor listened to the concerns of drivers and FairFuelUK supporters."
