Dover Council refuses HGV port levy proposal

摘要

A PROPOSED CONGESTION charge on HGVs using the Port of Dover was been turned down by Dover District Council, but could still rise from the ashes.At a council meeting last week, councillor Nathaniel Richards proposed a £1 levy on HGVs entering the port in order to spend revenue on air quality improvement. The proposal was met with "incredulity" by trade associations, which warned it could jeopardise British trading relationships.
