Triumph for motorists as CO2 parking scheme ditched
Richmond, the first UK Council to launch the CO2-linked residents parking permits, has officially scrapped the scheme.

Thanks to the Conservatives, who campaigned heavily against ‘fanatical hostility to the family car’, the scheme has been scrapped.
