Lancashire will not be introducing a clean air charging zone for highly polluting vehicles, a senior politician has said.
Aidy Riggott, Lancashire County Council’s cabinet member for economic development and growth, made the commitment at a meeting of the authority as he responded to a question about the current status of Greater Manchester’s clean air plans and their potential impact on Lancashire residents.
The rollout of the scheme was paused after a public backlash within Greater Manchester itself and the area’s transport bosses are now proposing to rely on a vehicle replacement support fund in order to meet legal limits for nitrogen dioxide by trying to take the most polluting engines - again, not including private cars and motorbikes - off the road.
