mctwistuk Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 oh and they forgot to mentuion that all cars registered after 2001 will have an extra £240 i think it was added to the road tax. that was kept well quiet. they are alos looking into congestion charges in glasgow and are talking of hittin ght ebig polluters such as buses and taxis. How can the government pressure us into using public transport then hit the public transport with big taxes etc???????
