Manchester has decided to abandon its clean air charging zone plan, opting to not introduce a car levy and focusing on public transport instead. Mayor Andy Burnham criticized fellow Labour mayor Sadiq Khan's Ulez policy, stating that Manchester will improve air quality 'faster' without the levy. This decision follows the scrapping of the Redcar hydrogen trial by the government, indicating a shift in environmental policies in the UK.
