[See the full post at: Government isn’t ‘anti-car’, Transport Secretary insists]graham coxGuestevery week it appears there are new headlines about cars /vans etc
the whole thing is ill thought out and unrealistic
we as an established garage are unable to recruit let alone train anybody to work in our business
the collage schemes are 20 years out of date
the mechanics we have are telling us that they do not want to work on electric cars
the charging network in our area is not present

graham coxGuestgood points raised
is any body in goverment going to explain to us in the independent sector how they plan to achieve there target on electric vehicles
would one of them be brave enough to come to my garage and explain the plan ??
myself and my staff would love to meet them,the door is open -
