Environmental group Transport and Environment (T&E) has outlined five key policy changes the Labour Party government could implement to ease the financial strain on households. With the Iran war entering its third month, T&E emphasizes immediate, practical solutions to cut fuel consumption. Among its recommendations are lowering motorway speed limits by at least 10 km/h on major routes and encouraging flexible working arrangements, including up to three additional remote working days per week, which could reduce individual driver fuel bills by as much as 20%.
