Clean Air Greater Manchester

Agreed and still another way to make money on the strength of that.

Decide if it’s aimed at producing clean air or raising money. There is, though, no point in repeating yourself ad nauseam here. If you object to the scheme, make your views known where it counts. I posted the details yesterday. Good luck with your endeavour.

I honestly don’t care about one scheme I object to them all. In my opinion if I am allowed one on here they are just a way of raising revenue under the disguise if clean air. I the councils or mayors really were that bothered the should make the charge that huge that hardly anyone can afford them not just the well off.

As for making my views know I don’t think that the powers that be really care about peoples views.

Don't understand your logic there. Surely the well off as you call them will have modern, non polluting vehicles,

As for the peasants as you unpleasantly label them, their private cars are exempt as has been pointed out to you many times.

I puzzle a bit over this "private car" bit. As motorhomes under 3500Kg are classed the same as a car - "Private Light Goods", is any targeting of motorhomes specifically discriminatory and how would it be monitored? ANPR would merely throw up a PLG classification. 

There is also financial support available to help those concerned. 

I can see some individuals on here haven't read about the UK clean air zones and are just making fatuous comments. So rather than respond further I'd just refer interested individuals to the web sites concerned as there are more clean air zones being introduced and quite a few of us with motorhomes will be affected.

Final words.  I don't have a view of the scheme David, I've tried to keep my comments factual and note that those affected on here are motorhome owners with engines under Euro6 and this is the same in other places coming into the schemes throughout the Uk. These schemes are imposed by the government.

I also note the facts about the CAMC making a representation on our behalf.

You wouldn’t want to live around the Manchester conurbation Rocky, trust me. It has all the pollution issues that London does, but none of the squillions of pounds of investment in alternative transport that London has had thrown at it. 

That’s the underlying issue here. There are certain areas of the country that have bad pollution from transport. However, the powers that be, of any political persuasion, are simply not  getting to grips with it, and ensuring the commitment to similar areas is a level playing field. So you get a piecemeal approach, different raison d’etres, and local communities pay the prices in unequal ways. The Manchester one is tough on local residents, but my advice to anyone else touring is to simply drive around. It’s a whole lot quicker anyway than queuing and shuffling along through the central area.
