The cynical part of me thinks that this is less about pollution and more about Cornwall Council gaining assets in areas that can be developed. I'd be willing to bet that any propertied taken under compulsory purchase orders will be for well under the market value, having said that houses in Bodmin, St Austell, Camborne and Redruth probably wouldn't be worth that much to start with.

I drive a diesel

I drive a diesel

So does Mrs K

Just have a simple rule.  If a diesel isn't fitted/retrofitted with a NOx reduction system it can't go into Truro etc during peak hours. 

Sad fact:  diesels are evil

I drive a diesel

Me too! 

Little chance of a Truro ban affecting me tho...

Maybe not but something tells me that other councils and governments will be looking on in interest to see if they can get away with the same method of asset acquisition.....

Would be cheaper to buy me a new car

True, they wouldn't have to worry about pollution making it easy to buy property in your area cheaply. The Nick effect manages that on it's own.

Good point!

Would be significantly cheaper to buy up every diesel that had been registered in the county for say 3 years for £30K...
