Red diesel availability?

[timbernut]

Read first bullet point. 
 
Now waiting for people  to start talking till the cows come home about is trees really hort or agri? Lol [emoji38] I've no time for those scare mongerers 

Further down includes horticulture with agriculture/forestry etc in exemption:

At Budget 2020 the government announced that it was removing entitlement to use red diesel from most sectors, except for agriculture (as well as horticulture, forestry and fish farming), rail and non-commercial heating, from 1 April 2022.

Yes and domestic tree surgery is none of the above.

I ve message a lot of people to get clarification on this and still waiting on an answer. Maybe the arb association can ask the government if we can still use it in chippers.

there will be an increase in cost for construction but nothing significant really. concrete pumps, volumetric mixers etc

 

Does mean driving the digger, dumper and telehandler to tesco for a fill up as no way storing white on site for the pikeys to have a field day with.

many apologies for dragging this up again.... But this was revised on with November and now says farming and forestry are exempt?! Or am I reading this wrong?! (Every chance!)

Horticulture definition includes the care of trees.. that covers tree surgery I suppose?
