Labour MPs from across Greater Manchester have again written to the government to urge ministers to meet with Andy Burnham to iron out issues over the proposed Clean Air Zone (CAZ).
In an open letter from Stockport MP Navendu Mishra, co-signed by 14 of his Labour colleagues from the region, he asked government officials to meet with the mayor and the leaders of the area’s 10 councils to ‘bring about changes to make the scheme fair for everyone’.
The first few weeks of 2022 in Manchester’s political scene have been dominated by complaints over the CAZ, which would see some commercial vehicles charged daily to enter the zone, which covers Greater Manchester.
