Clean Air Greater Manchester

Posted on 01/10/2021 13:39 by RowenaBCAMC

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

I only found about this recently by accident and feel the Club should have highlighted it more.  I will stay away from the area eg caravan sites, National Trust properties and other tourist attractions where I always spend money.  Don't forget it is not just the direct route to wherever you are going, it could affect you when touring.  I don't like to travel on motorways so on a long journey I could easily travel in and out of a zone more than once.  The caravan Club needs to mark on all sites if they are in or close to a zone so that members know before they book.  I hope facilities are going to be in place for a vehicle to turn around if they are faced with an advance warning sign that they are about to enter a zone.  Whilst I agree with town centre zones, this zone covers countryside which is totally unacceptable and just another money making racket

Surely it's up to you to do your homework rather than be spoon fed information by the caravan club or any other organisation that you might want to travel to ....

I took my caravan into a workshop in Stockport recently. Their principle business is Motorhomes and if I read it correctly  anyone taking in their MH for service or repair will face   a charge of £10 to deliver it and £10 to collect once this is implemented.

So £20 on what will normally be a bill of at least a couple hundred. Iis that intended to drive custom away and put a good workshop and its workforce out of business or just collect £20.

Although the extra £20 might come as a shock in the first year, I'm sure its a very small and insignificant cost compared to a years motor homing and considering the health benefits to the population, especially children and those with asthma and other respiratory diseases a very small price to pay.
