Pay as you drive plans slated as load of hot air

Councils are set to be given powers to introduce road charging where motorists would be forced to pay to drive their vehicles in that area.

Petrol and diesel cars would start being removed from roads in five years, with the aim of only having electric vehicles driven by 2045.

Ministers also want all fossil fuel heating systems out of homes, replaced with cleaner systems such as heat pumps and heat networks, with this needing done by 2045 as well. The proposals are included in the Scottish Government’s draft climate plan published yesterday.

TOP 5 GARDENING JOBS

Plant rhubarb crowns in a deeply prepared bed enriched with well-rotted manure or garden compost. Choose a sunny, open position with fertile, free-draining soil. Firm crowns in gently, keeping the top just above the surface. Avoid harvesting in the first season to let the plants establish strong roots for future years of cropping.
