It hasn’t been thought through. It will create the largest congestion charging zone in Europe and will severely penalise city centre business.

Many businesses will change their working hours and therefore the rush hour will turn into the rush 2 hours.

City centre traffic has not increased in Manchester for fifteen years so why the charge now?

It is actually nothing to do with congestion. If it was effective at reducing congestion that it would not generate any income. It is purely and simply another way to tax drivers who have no choice other than to get a job outside Manchester. For many, a choice that they will be forced to make!

A mere 18 additional miles of tramway, to be paid for by the charge, is estimated to cost over 1.2 BILLION. We are all very familiar with how these type of public works costs escalate so the actual costs are likely to be much more.

The one sided propaganda, lies and half truths propagated by the yes campaign and paid for by residents taxes has been a disgrace.

PLEASE, PLEASE SEE THROUGH THE PROPAGANDA AND VOTE NO!
