Conservative manifesto pledges £8.3 billion to combat potholes and to pull a U-turn on Ultra Low Emission Zone extension plans
Rishi Sunak plans to “back drivers” by making journeys smoother and cutting costs for motorists.
The Conservative Party has unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming General Election, with current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak addressing a crowd of reporters at the Silverstone race circuit.
In the run up to the General Election on July 4, the Conservative Party has vowed to “back drivers” with a series of policies aimed to reduce the burden on today’s motorists.
Part of today’s manifesto focusses on reversing the London Mayor’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expansion and “applying local referendums to new 20mph zones and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods,” according to a summary of the Tory manifesto.
Alongside bold plans to introduce a new legal cap on immigration and a 2p cut in National Insurance Contributions, Sunak announced that his party would create a dedicated £8.3 billion fund to “fill potholes and resurface roads”.
