Reform UK leader of Derbyshire County Council, Alan Graves, has proposed introducing charging for vehicles entering the Peak District using camera technology similar to ULEV zones.
Reform UK got elected to run Derbyshire County Council a year ago on a promise to cut taxes, instead they whacked up council tax by 4.9%, almost the maximum allowed.
They promised to cut waste, it turns out what they meant was closing Glossop’s waste and recycling centre, which would force people in Glossop to do an over an hour round trip to Buxton to dump their waste.
Now the cherry on the top is Reform UK Derbyshire County Council leader, Alan Graves, proposing a new tax on those people and all motorists in the Peak District for using their cars. What is their beef with us in High Peak?
By contrast, Labour are investing in sustainable transport to give people a genuine alternative to their car. Our £6 million “mini-Switzerland” project will deliver buses and trains working together on simple, reliable, clockwork timetables, with better connections, less waiting and joined-up tickets. That is the best way to tackle congestion and make visiting our amazing National Park sustainable - not taxing them for the pleasure.
Once again, it is clear that Reform are not on the side of working people. High Peak deserves better than policies that risk damaging our local economy and placing further pressure on hardworking families. ... See MoreSee Less
