Whats Your Current Fuel Price?

It's Oxford, the result was never in doubt.

The world capital of misinformed do-gooders.

A few weeks ago they approved the country's first zero emission zone...   ...but it doesn't apply to their smelly diesel buses or the diesel trains that pass through the ZEZ.

When central London started with the congestion zone, other councils showed a slight interest. Once they published how much money they were raking in, every other council couldn't wait. A method for printing money whilst jumping on the environmental bandwagon. I noticed on Sunday that the signage is up and ready in Bradford, just waiting for the big switch on.

£1.56.9 for E10 at the local Morrisons this evening[they don't sell E5] with diesel a further 8p dearer at £1.64.9

Fortunately, the bankrupt Northamptonshire County Council and bankrupt South Northants local council have become a unitary council, and have no plans for such silliness. They are going to start charging for garden waste bins instead - they have been free here for a couple of decades as a sweetener for when we went to fortnightly bin collections.

Oxfordshire County Council has, ever since I can remember, been trying to ban cars from going anywhere near their beloved Oxford.  Never impacted me much, despite Mrs TB coming from there, as I have never wanted to go anywhere near that shithole.  The (once) ringroad around the outside was plenty close enough.

I agree with all of the above.

You don't know how lucky you have been. We have had to pay for the green garden waste bin collection for years in Pendle. This year it is £37 per bin - if you have two, it's double. Used to be free and collected every all year round. Then they stopped it in the winter months unless specifically requested. Now its just March to November full stop. When the neighbours beech hedge sheds leaves for fun, there is never any garden waste collections....

Chuck it back over his fence or ask him to pay your £37.
Our green bin collections are still free, but if they start charging I will tip the grass cuttings over the back fence onto the allotments and they can use it as compost.
Bin collections is all we get for our £1500 pa council tax.

You don't know how lucky you are. I've just had the renewal notice for my garden bin from Dorset Council.... £59! 

All year round fortnightly collection though.

[Fraggles Rock]

That's about the same as ours...

[STEMO]

Ours are free, for now. Personally, I couldn't care less, I don't have one.

Having had a look on the site for Bradford, Sheffield and Leeds, apparently cars are not charged, just trucks, buses and taxis.

Well.....everything is 'so far' I guess. The lower rate of income tax is 20%, so far. Cornflakes are £2 odd, so far
