CAZ on Way<br />

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has<br />

confirmed that it will push ahead with a Clean Air Zone<br />

that would see drivers of heavily polluting commercial<br />

vehicles hit with daily charges. The Clean Air Zone will<br />

cover all 493 square miles of Greater Manchester.<br />

The CAZ was due to come into effect in <strong>2021</strong> but was<br />

delayed due to a funding row. The GMCA have confirmed<br />

that they have received £150m in funding and £120m of<br />

this will help businesses pay for new cleaner vehicles or<br />

upgrade their old ones, while the rest will be spent on<br />

infrastructure such as cameras to monitor the roads.<br />
