To combat air pollution across Greater Manchester a clean air zone is being introduced to encourage more road users to drive low emission vehicles.
The clean air zone currently covers key areas in Greater Manchester such as Oldham, Trafford and Stockport, yet these changes could also impact drivers from Cheshire.
Understandably, road users travelling to and from Greater Manchester and Cheshire will be affected by daily charges if their vehicles don’t meet the clean air zone’s emission standards.
Cheshire City Council have their own strategies in place to tackle air pollution across the county and road users can even be charged a Fixed Penalty Notice for leaving stationary vehicles with their engines on for too long.
