ABD calls for current and future governments to: ·
Axe
the fuel duty
escalator, frozen by Gordon Brown after the protests in 2000, but

Axe
stealth taxes like road tolls
and the levy on motor insurance. ·
Axe
plans to promote road

Parking Levy’. ·

in public spending and invest more in road transport. |
