Mind you, it’s not like we in Greater Manchester are free from utterly baffling political decisions on air quality #CleanAirZone

The reason I’ve said that AB would have nothing to offer except continuity Starmerism is that he pandered to people who will never vote Labour over the #CleanAirZone - exactly the mistake Starmer’s government makes repeatedly.
And meanwhile the health of GM suffers.

Once again a demonstration that carrot without stick rarely changes behaviour #CleanAirZone

There are plenty of other reasons to have questions about his judgement, e.g. for all the talk of reducing private involvement in the NHS, he remains the only SoSH to have privatised an NHS trust, and then there's the spinelessness over the #CleanAirZone in the face of people who will never vote Lab

You’d think that.
Apart from the buses it’s hard to pin down any actual achievements, and that was at the cost of binning the #ActiveTravel vision.
His spinelessness about the #CleanAirZone in the face of people who were never going to vote Labour was notable.

He’s a total lightweight whose record doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, and anyone expecting less #BlueLabour crap from him should look at his total spinelessness in the face of RethinkGM, people who would never vote for him, over the #CleanAirZone

And he’s shown absolutely no spine on the #CleanAirZone, while the health of GM’s residents continues to suffer, in the name of appeasing people who will never vote for him.

It completely is cowardice.
The #CleanAirZone not only won't work, it *can't* work. And all because our political leaders are scared to use their extensive political capital to do the right thing, while the health of the city region's residents continues to suffer.

Also to be fair to him, the disastrous #CongestionCharge ref (which not only made it hard to bring one in in GM, but also everywhere else too) was before his time.
The #CleanAirZone is a clear case of 'differently' not being a synonym for 'better'.

If it's any comfort, the Manchester #CleanAirZone was sunk by the same process - it wasn't going to apply to private cars, taxis registered in GM would have been exempt so the only people etc. etc.
And yet we got Reformist screaming about 'Burnham's Congestion Charge' which sunk the whole thing.

The refusal to put in either a #CongestionCharge or a #CleanAirZone, even if these were just within the inner ring road is a total failure of political courage in GM.
Mind you, the ones in London haven’t kept up with inflation so have become less effective & it’s good to see that being considered.

More evidence that carrot and no stick does nothing to encourage #ModalShift. Greater Manchester’s politicians need to be braver and bring in the #CleanAirZone and #CongestionCharge the city so desperately needs

The #CleanAirZone is inexcusable - it's not just that it won't work, a non-charging scheme *can't* work as there's no carrot to drive behaviour change.
And meanwhile the burden of chronic lung disease in Greater Manchester continues @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

There's no point in having loads of political capital if people are too scared to use it, but as we've seen with the #CleanAirZone Manchester politicians are still cringing about the #CongestionCharge referendum.
Still, we do things differently here @walkridegm.org.uk

Interesting idea here - not quite the same as a #CleanAirZone but always good to look at what other cities have done. #Transport #GreaterManchester

From one who lives there, it really isn’t. “Differently” is not a synonym for “better” #CleanAirZone

The trams is inexplicable given other light rail systems eg Edinburgh seem to manage fine.
And the #CleanAirZone remains an abomination where even he can’t justify why GMCA won’t do the right thing, with the resulting health consequences

Yes, and for all the talk of GM's success in active travel, the delivery has stalled and the vision has been lost.
The #CleanAirZone is, I think, a demonstration of the limits of Burnham's power - essentially he can only deliver if the 10 council leaders are on side, and on this, they weren't.

You’ll excuse the cynicism but I don’t think he *has* done a lot for #ActiveTravel, given that we’ve something like 4% of the planned ten year network plan, seven years in.
He has done a lot of good stuff, e.g. buses, but AT and the failure of the #CleanAirZone are hardly successes.

Great to see the direct impact of #Sheffield's #CleanAirZone - over £200,000 from the charge is going towards creating new #SchoolStreets. School Streets reduce #AirPollution around and at schools, reduce road danger and help kids get active. Win!

Meanwhile in Greater Manchester we’re spending thousands taking down the #CleanAirZone signs.
