Greater Manchester votes by nearly 4 to 1 to reject plans for a congestion charge
Manchester,UK -BBC News -12 Dec 2008: -- The people of Greater Manchester have voted against plans to introduce a congestion charge in the region... Nearly two million people were asked to decide on a peak-time road charge to open up a £2.8bn transport investment... A majority of voters in all of the region's 10 boroughs voted against the plans, with 812,815 (79%) no votes and 218,860 (21%) in favour of the charge... It means the application for government Transport Innovation Fund (TiF) cash will not now go ahead... (Map: Manchester City and Great Manchester)Labels: congestion pricing
