Turn up a council tip with anything more than a carrier bag of Plasterboard or a bucket of rubble, and you'll be on the weighbridge before you can say 'what trade waste'!

You're all so indirectly taxed so much - it's shameful !

That really annoys me, it's not like there was much of an alternative when it was installed god knows how many years ago, I can understand going forward it's not a very environmentally friendly product and we should use far less, but why penalise people for getting rid when they had no control over it's installation years ago!!
As a gardener i have to use the weighbridge for waste, mostly it's all green waste so it all gets composted and recycled, they charge me to get rid of it and then they produce compost with it and then sell it! double bubble profit, no wonder there's so much fly tipping

I don’t think you can recycle it.
6 yard skips are £380. I just use there now as it’s so much cheaper.

I collect up any scrap metal and take it to a place 2 mins from the council recycling centre that actually pays me for it!
On the subject of being charged twice for things - decaffeinated coffee is more expensive that regular and then Red Bull charge you for a can of the waste product!

Official update on the FBHVC’s position and the reassurances from the DfT. As I expected, the initial headlines were typical alarmist crap to sell mags, and the details would reveal the intention of targeting changes to future vehicles, particularly electric and self-driving ones. And that targeting the existing classic and modified scene is not the aim.

Thanks
I see three glaring phrases :
a) "It (Federation) doesn't believe that exemptions will be needed"
b) "The proposals should be reviewed in the context of future developments"
c) "assuming that there are no subsequent U-turns"
------------------------
a) so, nothing clear-cut and merely an interpretation
b) and anything can happen in the future - it needs to br written in B and W now !
c) Not set in stone then (see b) above !

Yes apparently if manufactured in EU we will let them in. If manufactured in Far East but sold via EU traders, these goods will be blocked. - also from a Facebook friend

Luckily, there's still the Irish route - now who has a double garage in Liverpool to let ?
