Phase 1 (30 May 2022): Daily charges for non-compliant HGVs, buses, and non-Greater Manchester licensed taxis and private hire vehicles.
Phase 2 (1 June 2023): Daily charges for non-compliant vans, coaches (on application), light goods vehicles (LGVs), minibuses, Greater Manchester-licensed hackney cabs and private hire vehicles.
Phase 1 is nice, "non-Greater Manchester licensed taxis and private hire vehicles" means all the Sefton and Wolverhampton-plated taxis which must be cheaper than local ones will now be off the road.
But the website continues: Non-compliant vehicles with a body type of ‘motorcaravan’ – will be charged to travel in the Clean Air Zone - If your motorcaravan has a Euro 5 or earlier diesel engine (typically registered before 2016) or a Euro 3 or earlier petrol engine (typically registered before 2005) it will automatically qualify for a temporary exemption until 1 June 2023, with a daily charge of £10 from that date.
Brilliant. Looks like Bongy may have to go to the big scrapheap in the sky after all
