What Greater Manchester's new Clean Air Zone could look like... as some motorists could still face being charged
Transport bosses have set out what a new Clean Air Zone would look like if Greater Manchester is required to introduce daily charges for some vehicles. Local leaders insist they no longer want any charges but the government has told them to look at plans for charging certain vehicles in the city centre only.
This modelling data which will be used to compare the two approaches is now being prepared, but it will not be ready until the end of June. Mayor Andy Burnham has said that local leaders will still be calling for all Clean Air Zone charges to be scrapped, but he explained that it is now 'highly unlikely' that any charges would be introduced other than in parts of Manchester and Salford.
Unlike the previous plans, Greater Manchester's 'starting point' is now for vans to be exempt from charges. But according to a report, Greater Manchester has been asked to model a Category C zone as well which would see vans charged.
