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 can see your point, and those living in more rural areas away from those areas do not really. understand the implications of how it affects  the citizens of those areas,in the short term ??

Although, as in The London area 140 square miles most had adapted and until the pandemic hit there was  very good public transport services

JV, you are way off beam🤷🏻‍♂️. Folk who live in rural areas do actually travel to cities & large conurbations, they can also read & watch the TV that tells them what a devastating effect traffic borne pollution has on young lives. Remember-young folk are the ones suffering the higher pollution levels over a longer time.

The level of self interest and ignorance in this discussion is appalling

Self Interest? Really? The members on this discussion that support and are willing to live with these charges are the ones who seem to have the interests of the wider population at their heart rather than just themselves. If it was self interest then  no-one would be advocating or accepting such a charge. I have read some of these members comments on other threads and found that they have legitimate concerns, as I have, about the toxic levels of pollutants harming children and the vulnerable. That's not self interest.

Ignorance? Well, that it is completely understandable from those members and contributors who haven't got such a charge anywhere near them, which will be the majority of the contributors. Some, like myself, have come across these "Green" charges when travelling abroad and those members who travel into London etc. that currently operate them. I don't think such ignorance can be called appalling at all. It is up to those people like yourself to state the argument on the ground either for or against in order to enlighten rather than just insult people.

Thats for you to think?    ,as you have posted live in a small East Yorkshire village,? you will not be affected as those who live in large ,cities ,  I can remember the smogs,,  with most food and other companies now doing home deliveries  there is less need  for many to travel to cities at all as most now have P&Rs

,Also as I stated there was a lot of hand wringing when the LEZs were introduced but it seems ,apart from the vocal few , most of the populations have adapted

I’m afraid it’s not ‘for me to think’ at all its the Govt’s of the world & WHO(World Health Organisation) they trump both you & me. This isn’t a contest of wills it’s just my choice. I am a supporter of any way pollution can be reduced to help all of us👍🏻
