On 5 July 2007, the Local Government Association (LGA) published a report (Breaking the gridlock: moving the road pricing debate forward) which says that road pricing will not work if the public sees it as an extra tax.
The first part of this report looks at the reasoning behind road pricing and the second part looks at how this fits with other aspects of transport policy and delivery and in particular considers the governance arrangement for transport. The third part considers the financial issues faced by local government in delivering an integrated transport package, and the final part looks at what is needed to facilitate road pricing projects in England.
