London Mayor considers taxing driveways to cut flood risk, but won't implement soon.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is considering a tax plan to charge UK households for their driveways to reduce flood risks, as suggested by the London Climate Resilience Review. The review proposed stormwater charges based on non-porous surfaces. Despite this, Khan's office confirmed they will not introduce any "drainage charges" soon, citing lack of power to implement such a tax.
