SoS writes to Andy Burnham about Clean Air Zone

I am pleased the Secretary of State has written to Andy Burnham today highlighting that his plan, supported by Bury Labour, for a 493 square mile clean air zone is not appropriate. I have campaigned for Bury to be removed from this damaging scheme for a long time now and it is good to see the Government has recognised what Andy Burnham fails to: that measures which may be appropriate in city-centre Manchester, are wholly inappropriate for us here in Bury, Ramsbottom, Tottington and our villages. I fully support the Government's call for Mr Burnham to reduce the size of the zone by 95% or more and to focus on Manchester City Centre where the problems are, and if he does no longer believe there are problems in central Manchester then he should prove it to the Government. If that proof is provided then there will be no need for a charging zone even in the city centre. I know that this will come as a relief to many small businesses, self-employed people and working families across my constituency. We should never have been included in this in the first place and I welcome the Government's intervention to stop Andy Burnham's ridiculous plan.
