Greater Manchester (GM) is taking action to improve air quality on local roads – now and for future generations. 

All ten local authorities have worked together to develop the Greater Manchester Clean Air Plan. This will help bring nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels on local roads within legal limits by 2024. The final Clean Air Plan has now been approved by the councils, following a public consultation and further development work.

It includes a Greater Manchester-wide Clean Air Zone, which is anticipated to launch on 30 May 2022. More than £120m in government funding will also be available to support eligible Greater Manchester businesses, people and organisations to move to cleaner vehicles before the Zone is introduced. 

The Club will be making a representation on behalf of members, however, if members themselves want to get involved the more input the better.

Please visit Clean Air Greater Manchester for more information and please also share with anyone who might be interested, or visit the consultation here: https://cleanairgm.com/consultation

Once more into the dock dear friends.....

No, I have aleady said that. Our car was a pre-reg car, we reduced the costs on purchase by this means and OH installed the charger so no help with that either (but it worked out cheaper.) All that glitters is not gold JVB....wink

I think cars for those with wheelchair access still receive the full subsidy, about £2500?

No pay-no play, buy a bike or trade to a less polluting vehicle all the options are there👍🏻

I take it you can afford one of the more expensive vehicles.

Those who run a smoky polluting vehicle do not have the right to poison others. If it gets them off the road, then good. If those who cannot afford a later vehicle to improve the health of others, then tough. Bring it on nationwide 👍

At the moment aren't we all paying differing levels of VED anyway depending on how good or bad our car's emissions are? 

Posted on 12/01/2022 20:13

Not necessarily so. I have a car with a euro six engine, which I believe not very polluting in the scheme of things. Free to use in the London low emission zone. VED is £465.

Maybe, maybe not, but that is no reason not to clean up the pollution caused by dirty engines.
