I know that some green activists are not too fond of the human race and others are — how to put this — sticklers, but even so . . .

The Daily Telegraph:

Police cars, fire engines and ambulances responding to life-and-death 999 calls are to be charged for entering a Somerset low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN).
From March, emergency services which do not meet the local council’s emission standards will have to pay to enter the city.

This may seem a bit bleak for those living in a Somerset LTN, a neighborhood where, as the name would suggest, through traffic is heavily restricted (these days, the concept is a front in the broader war on cars), but they should not worry. Councilor Sarah Warren has explained that “a limited number of vehicles will be impacted.”

That’s a relief!

Warren is the “council’s deputy leader and cabinet member for climate emergency and sustainable travel.”
