That’s all there is to it!
It’s unsurprising that older cars and vans are responsible for a significant number of pollutants in the Earth’s atmosphere. Air pollution is a rising issue across the UK and measures are being taken to tackle this problem as quickly as possible.
By 2030 the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned across the country as road users are being encouraged to transition to cleaner, electric vehicles.
In Lancaster alone, the Lancaster City Centre Movement and Public Realm Strategy has been introduced to reduce traffic levels and create better streets for the city centre’s residents.
One of the options proposed under this strategy is to establish a clean air zone in Lancaster’s city centre. This plan could lead to motorists being charged for driving pollutant cars through the zone!
Understandably, these changes may negatively impact motorists from Lancaster who drive high emission vehicles.
Luckily, Scrap Local can help you dispose of your old car safely. We work with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who de-pollute and scrap vehicles in accordance with strict, environmental conditions.
If you’re looking to switch to a cleaner method of transport, then why not scrap your old car with Scrap Local.
You can tell DVLA that you’ve scrapped your car on their website.
We’ve listed the things you’ll need to notify DVLA below:
