Brent Council is likely to introduce a charge on diesel vehicles according to the papers of the next Council Cabinet. This is in line with the principles introduced under the emissions based parking permit scheme introduced some years ago. This is also in line with the general strategy of the Council to reduce car use, a strategy that I suspect many Brent councillors simply don't understand.
It is notable however, that it applies solely within existing permit zones. At some point, Brent Council is going to have to consider increasing the extent of these zones as the current policy heaps more and more charges on only a certain proportion of people in the Borough.
