Line 1:

The '''Manchester Congestion Charge''' is a proposed scheme of [[road charging]] for the Greater [[Manchester]] area. Unlike the current version of the [[London Congestion Charge]], two cordons will be used, covering both Greater and inner Manchester It is proposed that vehicles entering the area bordered by the M60 will be charged £2.00 in the morning peak, with a further £1.00 for those entering the city centre itself. In the evening, a further £1.00 will be charged on exit of each cordon, making a maximum daily payment of £5.00.

There is no indication of exactly what role this man played in the production of the shows. Therefore, he is probably not notable. The page is an orphan, which suggests that as well. [[User:N Shar|N Shar]] 20:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Inadequate references/sources, and no evidence of notability. Did he just make the tea for the assistant producer, or what ? [[User:WMMartin|WMMartin]] 13:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' and cleanup/reference. He's not the tea-maker for the ass producer. He was "executive in charge of production", "executive producer" for many popular productions, such as Powerpuff girls, Star Wars clone wars, G.I. Joe.

Although the area covered (most of Greater Manchester) is greater than the London Congestion Charge, charges are lower and the charging hours are much shorter. Inbound charges will apply between 7am and 9.30am, outbound ones between 4pm and 6.30. There will be no charge during the middle of the day, later in the evening or at the weekend. There will also be no charge for journeys against the peak flow- i.e. to leave the city in the morning or to enter it in the evening.

*'''Delete''' Needs sources that mention him and how he is notable, else it fails [[WP:BIO]]--[[User:Dacium|Dacium]] 01:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Payment of the charge will be via a pre-pay 'tag and beacon' system. Credit will automatically be deducted from a drivers account as they pass each of the cordons. Occasional visitors to Manchester without a pre-pay 'tag' will be able to pay via call centre or internet, although there may be a surcharge for this. It is hoped to have the scheme up and running by 2012.

*'''Comment (as nominator).''' Given that this person clearly has done notable things, it would be too bad to delete the article -- but I'm not seeing sources, and I worry about [[WP:V]]. Perhaps despite his activities, he hasn't got any sources about him? That would be surprising. --[[User:N Shar|N Shar]] 03:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

A key aspect of the proposed Manchester Congestion Charge is that in the setting up of the system, that will be paid for with part of a grant of 3 billion pounds of goverment money.

2 billion of which is a loan for which the congestion charge will be the main way of paying back the loan.

Phase two the system is planned to be a satellite-based charging in which drivers would pay for exactly the number of miles they travel.
