Not consciously.
My council 100% use car parks as a source of revenue. That the price discourages people is a side effect of supply and demand. Particularly in London where space is at a premium.
Any "carbon neutral thinking" by my council is accidental, except when they buy a bunch of electric vehicles.
- hkt 5y agoI'm sure some do use it as a source of revenue. They should be allowed to conceive of and levy local taxes of all kinds instead, really. Councils' lack of financial flexibility makes politicians of all stripes unable to deliver on even basic pledges.
