Plans to roll out a nationwide road-pricing system in the UK may be dropped.
"A national road-pricing scheme that would have cost motorists up to £1.30 a mile is to be shelved, it was claimed today."
"Road pricing proposals have proved unpopular with motorists, triggering a petition on the Downing Street website signed by 1.8 million people and a campaign by the Telegraph calling for the plans to be ditched."
"The U-turn is expected to be announced this week in the Department for Transport's response to a parliamentary committee's report into the draft local transport bill."
"The legislation aims to encourage local authorities to introduce traffic-busting schemes in their areas, including congestion charging."
