The comments come as Greater Manchester's CAZ remains up in the air
Lancashire will not be introducing a clean air charging zone for highly polluting vehicles, a senior politician has said.

County Cllr Riggott told the meeting at County Hall that Lancashire drivers from boroughs on the border with Greater Manchester were still unlikely to be able to access any funding that is made available under the proposed new scheme, the exact shape of which is yet to be confirmed.
