Greater Manchester’s plans of a Clean Air Zone have divided businesses - with many fearing the government-mandated scheme could cause havoc on their likelihood.
Under the plans, drivers of ‘non-compliant’ vans and taxis would be charged when driving into or within Greater Manchester from May.
The charges include a £60 fee for buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles, £10 for vans and minibuses and £7.50 for Hackney cabs and private hire vehicles.
