<p>Powers to tackle vehicle idling are available to Local Authorities, including the
ability to issue Fixed Penalty Notices where necessary. However, this issue will not
be solved simply through fining motorists. Local Authorities should utilise a range
of methods to encourage motorists to change their behaviour, including public information
campaigns. Better technology can play a part in addressing idling, such as stop-start
technology and low- or -zero-emission vehicles. In particular the growth in Electric
Vehicle sales is expected to assist in lowering emissions.</p>
