The Federation of Small Businesses has criticized the abrupt closure of the scrappage scheme, arguing it does not provide sufficient time for firms to replace non-compliant vehicles.
Laura Timm emphasized the impact on small businesses, stating that rising compliance costs have created significant challenges, with many needing to rethink operations and absorb extra costs.
The FSB has urged for extended support and grace periods to allow small businesses more time to transition to compliant vehicles without incurring undue costs.
Christina Calderato from TfL noted that demand for the scrappage scheme has significantly decreased, but encouraged businesses to phase out non-compliant vehicles.
