Manchester says no!!!

TrafficIts official now and Manchester has voted No on the proposal for the congestion charge (or for its proper name the Transport Inovation Fund TIF).

Almost 2 million people could have voted. In the end about 53% of people voted and the result was 4 to 1 to the No!! I am surprised not more people voted!

It now looks like the plans for congestion charges in other cities will be scraped now. A good example of a congestion charge is the one in London which hasnt really worked. The “congestion” levels are back to the levels before the charge came into effect as is the air quality.

I have already said before (many a time) why I voted No so wont rant again!! LOL.
