Rural Fuel Duty Relief scheme
Motion or resolution considered by Powys County Council
This motion was heard on 22/07/2022. It was proposed by Elwyn Vaughan and seconded by Gary Mitchell .
Motion as voted upon
Poor public transport infrastructure sadly means that many Powys residents have few alternatives for essential journeys, and are dependent on using the car. At 80%, Wales continues to have the highest proportion of people travelling to work by car compared to the regions of England or Scotland.
Rural areas of Wales are currently not supported despite meeting almost all of the criteria. The scheme must be reconfigured to take into account access to local public transport networks, as well as a guarantee of inclusion of Welsh areas within the scheme. In view of this, Council -
- supports calls for rural Wales to be included in the Rural Fuel Duty Relief scheme;
- presses on HM Treasury to update the criteria for the scheme
- and asks for our Powys MPs to work with other Mid Wales opposition MPs in ensuring a united voice in pressing the case at Westminster
Result: Passed
