Scrapped fuel duty rise means good news for Scunthorpe motorists (updated)
A scrapped planned fuel duty rise will mean fuel prices won't be hiked up for North Lincolnshire motorists.
Chancellor George Osborne announced he would be scrapping the planned 3p a litre increase in his autumn statement, delivered today (Wednesday, December 5).

This will reduce running costs for the 2.7 million motor vehicles in Yorkshire and the Humber and will save a typical motorist £40 a year.
The fuel duty rise was planned for January, but the Chancellor was expected to delay this until April.

“council tax frozen after a rise.... fuel will still go up before the years end 2013 .....104 million on new homes cheap rent but built on a flood plane ..... wake up and smell the reality.
there is still no mention on a wages review for the people at the top or even reducing/stopping allowances for those paid in excess of 75.000 ? .....
the country needs someone who knows what the real world is like not by people who do not even know the price of a pint of milk!”
