Clean Air Greater Manchester

Private cars in the clean air zone are not affected at present. People like us with a euro5 engine in our motorhome will have to pay. My post was removed but this is what I stated at the end of that particular post about our motorhome. 

 

 

That affects me-how?🤷🏻‍♂️. I can’t control how others save, spend or generally live their life but I can for me👍🏻. I pay my own way I don’t expect others to do that nor do I pay for others they do that. It would help the conversation if you concerned yourself about you & not being ultra negative. I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling  somewhat better👍🏻

This whole thing is something of a knee jerk given the government's flipflop on vehicles over the past ten or twenty years. First it was buy a diesel and we saw a plethora of supermini's with diesels. Then there was the disincentive to upgrade to a newer vehicle (6D) with the introduction of punitive rates of VED on certain classes of vehicles. Now we have penalisation of vehicles that aren't 6D. Now, as a further disincentive, EV charger funding is being cut back.

Whilst the pursuit of clean air is to be commended (my grandchildren are 100m from the south circular), government policy has been less than helpful.

They wont be affected. Private cars are exempt from the charge. A quick look at the schemes website will give you some facts.

I think you was playing games with the ask GMC

What an arrogant attitude.

And some can’t control the fact that they have a low paid job. We have moved on from the sixties and seventies when there were lots of good paid jobs with good pensions. When you was born has an effect on all this as there are nowhere as many good jobs paying good money. Like you I am alright jack, but unlike you I do feel for people who are not alright jack.

For now yes. Do you honestly think that will continue. I dont

I honestly dont know for sure and nether do you. I think during these times there are a lot more pressing things to worry about rather than speculate what might or might not happen in 5, 10, 20 years time.
