Greater Manchester has approved the introduction of its Clean Air Zone for the whole of the country from next year.
Under the original proposals Motorhomes with a classification of M1 with DVLA were exempt from the £10 per day charges (vehicles with N classification were included), however in the ‘interest of parity’ they are now proposing to apply the charges to all M1/M2 vehicles but with a delayed start until June 2023.
There is a consultation being done currently https://assets.ctfassets.net/tlpgbvy1k6h2/3W7gau9Y3hH3RURweHKV8M/6e0e591a5179396798ee79b528c5c804/21-0401_GM_Clean_Air_Plan_Consultation_Document_on_Motorhomes_and_Worsley_Boundary_Sept_2021_FINAL.pdf
This would mean that anyone resident within the Greater Manchester area who’s Motorhome did not meet the Euro 6 standard would be charged £10 just for moving it off their drive, and another £10 for returning home after a day away, yet a diesel car towing a caravan would be unaffected.
Most other areas that have introduced, or are planning to do so, limit the zone to include town/city centres but not Gtr Manchester.
I know £10 is nothing in comparison to how much we spend on our hobby but it could add up to a considerable amount over the course of a year.
I wonder if the club will be responding to the consultation exercise. The zone will include the Burrs site.
