The results will boost councils which are planning higher charges for residents' parking and roadside meters. Richmond council has said it wants to charge "gas-guzzlers" more for parking at meters and in off-street car parks. However, the survey found strong opposition to government plans for road-charging.

Nearly six in 10 said this was a bad idea. Some 65 per cent said they would "resent" paying up to £1.50 a mile under Labour's plans to introduce road-pricing within a decade.

The same number supported plans by Transport for London for the Low Emission Zone, which will make the most polluting lorries, buses and coaches pay a fee to travel in the capital. The scheme starts in February.
