#cleanairzones
And also it’s really poor that central government is interfering here - it’s completely appropriate that local government should be have the powers to bring in #CongestionCharging or #CleanAirZones as they see fit.

There does seem to be some understanding that we’ll never sort out the NHS and the #SocialCareCrisis without reframing the focus onto preventative healthcare.

And this means tackling #CarDependency, whether on this or on #CleanAirZones. But Lab needs to *do* more.

This. It’s utter folly to pursue people who didn’t and will never vote for Labour, whether that’s on immigration or #CleanAirZones
In trying to emulate the Far Right the Starmer Labour Party will lose the liberal and leftish voters that helped win it the 2024 election and fail to gain the right-wing voters that didn't vote for it then and never will in future

Just heard that @DefraGovUK #cleanairzones #airquality consultation will drop shortly. #Manchester confirmed. No #diesel #scrappage, though.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but odd @DefraGovUK putting out #cleanairzones cons same day as 2 #airquality conferences...
November 27, 2024 at 3:03 AM
I hear @DefraUKAir is mulling ~50 #cleanairzones - here's my informed guess about where they would be: http://www.endsreport.com/55926 #airquality

So another little bird tells me that my #cleanairzones story was on the money. Would love to say more, but my mouth is sealed... #airquality
November 26, 2024 at 8:17 PM
Wedn. should see launch of #DEFRA consultation on #cleanairzones - and possibly #diesel #scrappage on the back of it. Last day b4 purdah.
November 26, 2024 at 8:17 PM
I'm just going to stop predicting when the #cleanairzones consultation will come out. First 29 March, then told today, but nothing appeared.

Possible prorogation of parl' on 3 May, with start of #purdah, would not clash with #cleanairzones consultation by 24 April #GeneralElection
November 26, 2024 at 7:52 PM
Looks like @DefraUKAir will use #publichealth clause to avoid #purdah & issue #cleanairzones consultation on Monday. Maybe. They won't say.
November 26, 2024 at 7:52 PM
#GeneralElection2017 timing due to Labour weakness + election spending scandal only? Add delay to #cleanairzones consultation to the list.

What exactly drivers of older, more polluting vehicles will be charged to enter English #cleanairzones is still missing in action. Still.

7) But #cleanairzones are not the only way to improve #AirQuality. Could be as simple as a no-right-turn sign in some places, the court heard – and that could be implemented WAY before 2021.
November 25, 2024 at 8:10 PM
6) But the real meat of the case was @DEFRAgovuk policy, particularly about the 45 councils due to meet #NO2 limits in 2021. They have not been ordered to conduct feasibility studies into #cleanairzones, as by the time they could be put in place, #AirQuality should be OK.

With a bit of help from @ClientEarth, I have worked out what's going on with the rollout of #cleanairzones. Though the Supreme Court ordered "immediate action" on #airquality in 2015, not much has happened on the ground yet. But 2021 should be different....
