City Hall said the report, published by Element Energy, shows that it needs to take more action, particularly around reducing vehicle use "

That reads like a sensible idea, and one I've always believed should be applied nationwide in place of ved. But the application in specific areas could be problematic in its application. Nationwide, it would be simple, add 10p per litre to cover the ved- calculated via an average of 12000 miles per year and the pre2001 ved costs. Perhaps local fuel.stations having increased duty applied could work to a certain degree?
