Hmmm.... interestingly #AndyBurnham has decided to reduce emissions in #Manchester by using a carrot not a stick.... out goes the plan for a clean air charging zone, to be replaced by major investment in #pubictransport to encourage people out of their (commuter) cars.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, as many cities have plans for new zones to cut emissions.... if Burnham's pivot gets results, might we see a ramping up of #investment in (and subsides for) public transport?
