Lorna Slater calls for road charging scheme by Scottish Greens

The Scottish Greens would introduce a national road-use charging framework that will support a major expansion in funding for public transport and walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure.

The party’s general election manifesto, set to be published this month, will call for the UK government to work with devolved governments and local authorities to develop options for introducing road-user charging, with a view to a framework being introduced by the end of the next parliamentary session.
