Rejection of congestion charge 'is a victory for all drivers'
Greater Manchester's rejection of the proposed congestion charge is a victory for male and female drivers, it has been claimed.
The Association of British Drivers (ABD) stated it was delighted residents had voted no to the plans, despite a multi-million pound campaign by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority and the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities.
Last week it was revealed all ten council areas in the region had voted against the road pricing scheme.
Nigel Humphries from ABD said residents in Greater Manchester had seen through the "transport bribe" being offered by the country's leaders.
He added: "Surely this means the government must now abandon its back-door plans to tax, track and inconvenience drivers with road tolls."
In other news, ABD recently reported advice being handed out by some organisations to help motorists save money at the pump was creating more congestion and, as a result, increasing fuel consumption.
