Cleaning up our air in Manchester - https://cleanairgm.com/clean-air-plan In March 2020, the government issued a legal direction requiring the 10 Greater Manchester local authorities to address the vehicle pollution problem. Plans were drawn up for one of the biggest charging zones in Europe, covering an area of around 493 square miles, to come into force on 30 May 2022. Like many areas across the country, we have illegal levels of air pollution on local roads in Greater Manchester (GM). Poor air quality affects everyone's health, particularly the most vulnerable people in society: deprived communities, children, elderly people and those with chronic conditions like asthma, heart disease, stroke and some cancers Original Andy Burnham GM Clean Air Plan included a Greater Manchester-wide category C charging Clean Air Zone. Only the most polluting vehicles which don't meet emission standards would have been charged to drive in the Zone The Clean Air Zone was designed to comply with a legal direction from government issued before the coronavirus pandemic.

Portsmouth has a Class B clean air zone. Future clean air zones Bradford will start charging on 26 September 2022. Bristol will start charging in late 2022. Greater Manchester (under review). Tyneside (Newcastle and Gateshead) will start charging in winter: late 2022 to early 2023. More cities will implement clean air zones in 2022.
