Move to study taxi emissions in York THE impact of York’s taxi fleet on pollution and air quality in the city could be about to come under the spotlight. A City of York Council task group will this week decide whether to launch an analysis of the emissions the vehicles produce. It could also consider how much greener York’s taxis would be if some of the cars currently being used were replaced with more environmentally friendly alternatives, although the time it would take to complete such a study may be a stumbling block. The issue will be discussed on Thursday by the council’s taxi licensing review task group, which is also looking at issues such as whether York has enough taxis and ranks, following a request by Conservative group leader Ian Gillies for existing polices to come under fresh scrutiny. “Air quality is an issue which affects all cities and towns across the country,” said a report by scrutiny officers, which will go before the meeting. “It is recognised that while everybody needs to play their part, those who contribute more to the problem, such as buses, taxis and vans, should be expected to do more to provide the solution,” “To undertake a detailed study of taxi emissions in York, officers would ideally need to know, as a minimum, vehicles ages and fuel types and have an estimation of mileage over a set period. Unfortunately, very little information is currently held electronically about hackney carriages and private hire vehicles in York.” The report said one option would be to compile of a list of registration plates from which data used to estimate emission levels could be gleaned, but this would cost about £1,850, while getting a picture of average mileages may prove “difficult and inaccurate”. Officers also said a quicker, but less accurate, alternative might be to make some “broad assumptions” about emissions from York’s current taxis, before working out how the situation would change if electric or hybrid vehicles were operating instead. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/8796387 ... k/?ref=rss |

how exactly? once an engine is running as intended and passes its emissions levels, what can an owner do, drive less?.....oh yeah, that willll work wont it |

Do these doom and gloom riddled soothsayers always get their way??? Why is it they always look for a negative whilst tripping over the positive...Im sure York is probably healthier now than at any time in the last 150 years. Bugger me.........the worlds going to survive a few hundred million automobiles as by the law of averages Oil will have rum out long before the the Oxygen level does..... Give folk a break, let them make a living and Stop beating that damned Green drum that plays Mythical tunes and focus more on the realities of making York a more human friendly place with employment for all those that want it..for petes sake theyed rather have folk starve through lack of income before they would admit that C02 aint gonna kill them first... Bloody Miserable doomsday merchants......what a waste of money!!! |

CC And heres me thinking that we the Voter had the Ultimate power through free choice....Councillors are Voted in just as MPs are Voted in...Its a pity they Didnt state in their individual electoral campaign brochures that they were intending turning into power crazy Megalomaniacs once the gained office...P*R*I*C*K*S.. 
Maybe now that because we have the EU to dictate 90% of everything we do that the MP's and Councillors of old only have 10% of their original workload to focus upon, and as we all know...."Idle hands do the Devils work".. |
