The Guardian – Sunak puts car drivers first in new election battle line 

The Guardian says Rishi Sunak is to prioritise the interests of millions of car owners with a series of measures that will provoke environmentalists and curb the power of local councils. 

Sunak is set to use the Conservative Party Conference, which gets underway on Sunday, to set out a series of policies intended to appeal to car owners. The measures would include restrictions on the power of English councils to introduce 20mph speed zones and limits on the number of hours a day that car traffic is banned from bus lanes.
