Green number plate incentives

The request was successful.

Dear Central Bedfordshire Council,

On 8 December 2020 the UK government launched a green number plate scheme, which it said could help "motorists benefit from local initiatives such as cheaper parking and cost-free entry into zero-emission zones.”

Please could you tell me if you have implemented any policies since 8 December that benefit owners of green number plates (yes or no). If the answer is yes, please could you list the names of the policies/measures.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Vaughan
