What will the UK election result mean for logistics?

Whatever the outcome of this week’s general election in the UK, parcel broker ParcelHero believes all the parties pose potential problems for the country’s logistics sector, according to this post published in SHD Logistics. It has analysed each manifesto and would appear to indicate a preference for a change of government and a shift from the idea of a “hard” Brexit. In assessing the Conservative plans, ParcelHero says “no deal being better than a bad deal” is potentially alarming for UK transport companies and exporters. Despite welcoming plans from both Labour and the Green party to seek a deal to remain in the EU’s single market, the analysis found that both parties’ plans to improve air pollution would have a notable initial impact on hauliers. It also described UKIP’s proposals to scrap the new runway at Heathrow as “retrograde”.
