Motorists planning to drive into Greater Manchester have reported receiving Clean Air Zone (CAZ) charge warnings on Google Maps - four years after proposals to introduce a restricted area in the city region were scrapped.
After searching for their destination, Google Maps users are given information about a CAZ that has never existed.
The alert warns drivers that restrictions are in place all day, every day for taxi and private hire vehicles, with non-compliant vehicles subject to a daily £10 charge. It also contains a link to an article, published in 2021, providing more details about how the scheme works.
The BBC understands Google is aware of the issue and is rolling out a fix.
In 2015, the UK's Supreme Court ordered ministers to take immediate action to cut air pollution.
