Today we marked the start of the Clean Air Zone coming into operation with the help of Library of Birmingham! Coloured smoke was emitted from the roof of the iconic Library of Birmingham building, representing the average amount of NOx that will be saved every 10 seconds through the introduction of the Clean Air Zone. http://orlo.uk/4j6Ip | Birmingham City Council

Birmingham Clean Air Zone Charges have come into force for drivers entering Birmingham's Clean Air Zone. The zone was officially launched on 1 June, but there was a two-week delay to charges to give motorists "time to adjust". From 00:00 BST today, drivers of a vehicle not meeting emission standards, and without an exemption, will pay a daily fee. *** Please note that the vast majority of LSH Auto Cars will not be affected by this charge but if you do have any questions please get in touch >>htt

The Government will have the final say on whether Greater Manchester can have a Clean Air Zone without any charges. Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham insists a scheme without fees can work now the zone's been delayed until 2026: | BBC Manchester
