Rally held against introduction of Clean Air Zone charges in Greater Manchester

Some £132m of government funding is understood to have been earmarked to support those most affected.

Already operating in Bath, Birmingham and Portsmouth, they are designed to encourage the use of less-polluting vehicles, including those powered by electric, and more modern petrol and diesels. Buses, coaches and lorries that are not compliant are expected to be charged from 30 May, with vans and minibuses being charged from June 2023. Private cars and motorcycles will be exempt from the charges.Robert Downes, from the Federation of Small Businesses, said they had seen a "massive backlash" locally and that "plans to introduce a CAZ need a major rethink".
