Google Maps shows non-existent Greater Manchester CAZ alert; fix on the way

A number of Google Maps route searches into Greater Manchester showed a false Clean Air Zone warning, including a claimed daily charge for non-compliant vehicles, despite the CAZ being scrapped. Google says the issue is known and a fix is being rolled out; the alert only appears for routes starting outside GM and did not appear in other map apps. The warning referenced an older 2021 article, and GM officials emphasized the CAZ plans were abandoned in favor of cleaner transport investments.

Greater Manchester Teachers Strike Over Assault Allegations

Teachers at two primary schools in Greater Manchester are striking over concerns about violence, assaults, and safety issues, with staff reporting frequent incidents of pupils biting, kicking, and bringing knives to school, which they say are being ignored by school leadership. The union claims that unsafe conditions and lack of action have led to multiple strike days in January, while the school trust emphasizes their commitment to safety and willingness to discuss concerns. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in managing school safety and staff wellbeing.
