FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CARDIFF BRACES FOR ‘LAND ROVER TAX’

Responding to news that Cardiff Council is consulting on charging people who own larger cars more for parking, Andrew RT Davies MS, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, said:

“Labour’s war on motorists rages on in Cardiff, just as it does in London under Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan.

“This policy would also be yet another blow to farmers, who often use larger vehicles!

“Instead of busy-bodying with different tiers of parking charges, the Labour Cardiff Council should focus on providing adequate parking across the city.

“But for Labour, the answer is always more charges for motorists to pay.”
