Reduce the Gt Manchester Clean Air Zone charges. Guarantee cars won't be charged

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Review the Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone charges.
We also want a guarantee that cars will NEVER be charged for driving inside the zone.
Compensation scheme for those that lose out financially due to the scheme. IE: Vehicle value lack of resale value.
The charges are excessive and in a working class area like Gt.Mcr not everyone can or will be able to afford the £10 or £60 per day charge.
Bus route charges wil rise, business' will close, more will become unemployed. People and business' will lose out financially and be left with unsellable vehicles.
The implications are huge and the knock on effect will damage the economy in the area.
The charges need to be reduced and a guarantee cars will never be charged.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone are a matter for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
