UK Backs Greater Manchester's £86M Clean Air Plan
The UK government has confirmed that Greater Manchester will not implement a Clean Air Zone, allowing the region to proceed with an 'investment-led' Clean Air Plan that includes a £86 million investment in lower and zero-emission buses. This decision comes after a significant public backlash against proposed charges for drivers, which would have seen fees of up to £60 per day for certain vehicles. Local authorities presented evidence showing that they could meet legal nitrogen dioxide (NO2) limits without imposing charges, leading to government approval of their alternative plans. The initiative includes funding for 117 new buses, support for taxi drivers transitioning to cleaner vehicles, and measures to improve traffic flow. While local leaders have welcomed the decision, clean air campaigners express concerns that these measures may not sufficiently address pollution issues in the region. The government's backing emphasizes the importance of local solutions tailored to community needs, aiming to improve air quality without additional financial burdens on drivers.
