Ruth Kelly has made a statement in the House of Commons to announce the introduction of a new congestion charge for Greater Manchester.  The scheme will be funded from the Transport Innovation Fund.  Improved public transport links have been promised before the scheme comes online in 2013.

 The scheme is expected to reduce congestion in Greater Manchester by 20% .
