A plan to fund Lake District transport upgrades proposes vehicle levies and visitor fees, aiming to cut car use and boost sustainable travel.
A new report proposes a vehicle levy and potential overnight visitor charges to fund a £34 million annual upgrade to sustainable transport in England’s Lake District, including better buses, bike paths, and parking controls.
While no legal basis exists for overnight fees in England, the report cites models from Manchester and Switzerland, estimating they could raise £10 million to £34 million.
Vehicle levies, already permitted, could generate £24 million to £46 million yearly depending on design.
The study stresses that reducing car use requires more than fees—strong public transit, accessibility improvements, and infrastructure changes are essential.
Conservationists support the push for systemic change.
