Motoring groups have described plans to charge up to £5 a day to drive into Manchester city centre as another tax on road users.

The Association of British Drivers (ABD) said building more roads was the answer to easing congestion rather than introducing pay-as-you-drive to the city.

And campaign group Safe Speed said drivers faced being "taxed up to the eyeballs" to pay for a system in which it claimed only the technology providers would benefit.
