| In relation to how company car registrations affect the numbers of cars on the road in Hounslow, I thought it might be useful to make comparisons with broader areas. For Hounslow the mid 2022 proportion of company cars (as opposed to private cars) is 5.0%. For the UK as a whole the proportion is 8.3%. The proportion in London as a whole is 6.1%. Hounslow is similar to Outer London (5.5%) but Inner London is boosted by City of London (48%) and Westminster (nearly 20%). Other districts with over 50% of registered cars being company cars include Slough, Swindon and Milton Keynes. Adding back some of these could well increase the number of cars in Hounslow by 3-5%, which would bring the total close to 100,000, the number originally suggested. |
