Manchester Congestion Charge

[Mint]

They have just announced that there will be a congestion charge if you want to travel in/out of manchester. I do actually live in manchester but luckily not in the centre where the congestion system will take place. What is your view on the congestion charge?

they said itll only be in the morning and evening rush hour, and will happen by like 2013 at the earliest.

Its stupid.
I think they were planning on charging the M60/M62, which was made to take traffic off the A roads between the smaller areas. Counter-productive, and with Manchester having a far poorer public transport system to that of London but granted above most other cities, still not good enough for this IMO.
