London’s war on diesel: Drivers face tax triple whammy as mayor Sadiq Khan plans £12.50-a-day capital pollution charge on top of congestion charge, parking rate hikes and road tax rise

‘Diesel drivers are facing a triple tax whammy after London Mayor Sadiq Khan revealed plans for a daily £24 fee on vehicles using the fuel.
Mr Khan said he was bringing forward the launch of a new toxicity ‘T-charge’ covering the existing congestion charge zone from 7am to 6pm on weekdays to October 2017.
Under the scheme drivers will be forced to pay a daily £12.50 fee on vehicles using the fuel – on top of already paying the capital’s current £11.50 congestion charge.
But the new charge has come under fire as it is only expected to lead to a small cut in toxic fumes.’
