Bradley is urging the Government not to punish motorists by hiking Fuel Duty at the upcoming Budget.
Ahead of the Budget, Bradley joined colleagues outside Number 10 Downing Street to hand in a petition, signed by 130,000 motorists, calling on the Prime Minister and Chancellor not to hike Fuel Duty.
At the Spring Budget earlier this year, the previous Government maintained the rates of Fuel Duty at the current levels for a further 12 months by extending the temporary 5p cut and cancelling the planned increase in line with inflation, saving the average car driver £50 in 2024-25. This freeze represents a tax cut worth over £3.1 billion.
Bradley said:
“Motorists in Bromsgrove and the Villages need support not tax hikes.
“That’s why I joined colleagues at Number 10 Downing Street to hand in a petition, signed by 130,000 motorists, which calls on the Government to scrap any plans to increase Fuel Duty at the Budget next week. I very much hope the Government listens and doesn’t punish motorists by hiking Fuel Duty.”
