Response from FTA to the reintroduction of the London Lorry Control Scheme

Speaking about the announcement on the LLCS reintroduction, Natalie Chapman, Head of Urban Policy at FTA said:
 
“Today’s (21 May 2020) announcement of the reintroduction of the LLCS enforcement is hugely disappointing, and a retrograde step which will hit the logistics sector particularly hard at a time when it is itself attempting to rebuild after the shutdown of COVID-19.  The pressures involved in maintaining supplies to London’s essential shops and services have not gone away and we are still a long way from ‘business as usual’, so to place an additional regulation on the logistics industry at a time when it is fighting to keep the capital trading and moving after weeks with a limited cash flow will add further burden on the sector.
