Just recieved e mail from Shadow Transport Minister

Dear Mrs Nye

Your e-mail to Rt Hon David Cameron MP, the Leader of the Conservative Party copying him into the petition you sent to the Prime Minister about exempting motor homes from the new emissions charges has been sent to me as the Shadow Roads Minister.

I quite understand the problem that you face given that the average motor home does not travel many miles.  I will be interested to hear what reaction you get from the Prime Minister from this petition and whether they are intend to revisit this. 

The London low emission zone area is actually administered by Transport for London and is under the control of Boris Johnson the Mayor of London.  I therefore, suggest that you write to Boris to see if they have considered making any additional exemptions from the LEZ charges.  I know there are a number of other private users of large of vehicles such as, horse boxes and those who transport historic vehicles who also feel quite annoyed that this is affecting them.

Thank you, again for bringing this to Mr Cameron’s attention.  It may well come up in Parliament in which case I will be able to add motor caravans to the list of similarly effected vehicles that I had previously been made aware of.

Thank you, again for writing.

Yours sincerely,  

Robert Goodwill MP for Scarborough & Whitby
