As I wrote about recently on this blog, high petrol taxes are bad for motorists, bad for the economy, and bad for the Treasury too.
That's why earlier this morning I led a cross-party group of MPs, activists, thinktanks, and business groups to campaign for lower petrol taxes. We symbolically pushed a car down Whitehall to Number 10 Downing Street, and then delivered a letter to the Prime Minister.
The letter asked him to delay or abolish completely the planned 4p petrol tax hike, which will hit motorists on New Year's Day, January 1st 2012.
We urgently need lower petrol taxes, to bring jobs back to Harlow, and to get our economy moving again.
I will post more details shortly...
