We ask the government to raise the threshold for the additional £390 tax from cars with a list price of £40000 to those with a list price of £45000. Many households needing to buy new family sized cars will already be stretching to pay the cost, let alone an extra £32.50 a month.

The aim is Net Zero by 2050. But targets have been delayed for BEV and heat pumps already. We want the Government to lead by example and introduce new requirements for others by passing legislation to require elected representatives and public servants use zero emission travel.

HM Government in the UK has reciprocal agreements with the EU, and countries including the UAE, Canada, Japan, Australia and South Africa for exchange of driving licenses. We think it would be a great initiative if Omani licenses are also allowed to convert to a GB License.

We all want rail fares to remain at current prices as increased fares will hit the people’s pockets, especially during the cost of living crisis, and will also impact many tourists from travelling by train nationwide. If prices rise in March 2024 we think it will be a nightmare for millions.
