An investment-led Greater Manchester Clean Air Plan which means there will be no Clean Air Zone or charges to drive on roads in and around Manchester.

The non-charging plan submitted by Greater Manchester includes a £51 million investment in 117 clean air compliant buses and EV charging infrastructure at bus depots, £8 million in taxi funding to support moving Greater Manchester’s taxi fleet to cleaner vehicles, and a £5 million investment in local traffic measures.

What this means is that the Clean Air Zone and ‘Under Review’ stickers are to be removed and the potential for the Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras to be used tackle crime and improve road safety investigated.
