Clean Air Greater Manchester

I was pleased to see those of us who only pass through GM on a motorway are unlikely to be affected.

"…Most roads managed by Highways England, such as motorways and trunk roads, will not be included, with a few exceptions."

My commiserations go to members/residents affected.

No idea on what area it covers as I could not see detailed plans. It won't trouble me anyway as I would stay away

Excellent news, well done MCR I hope other metropolis’s take note & start to ban ice cars & take other forms of improvements to aid the health of the populace👍🏻

I can't applaud without more detail Rocky as o which types of vehicle are impacted and which areas covered

MCR gets my support just for actually caring enough to set the wheels(any wheels) in motion re cleaner air👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’s all in the link.

We used to go to the site at Bury regularly to shop at the market and in town. As we have a euro 5 engine, which will now incur a £10 per day charge, the best solution for us is to stay away... hope that helps them.

I did not see it ..... and then I found a second link. Cheers. Won't effect me it seems

Absolutely agree.
But just hope that Manchester can improve their abysmal public transport system before the clean air plan comes into effect. 🙂

I have no objection to the creation of this or any other clean air zones as traffic pollution has a terrible impact on health, especially young children. What disappoints me is that it is not done nationally like it is in Germany. I suppose in the future when we eventually get road pricing such schemes will easily be built in.
