Between now and 10th December the approximately 1.9 million voters of the ten district councils that make up the Greater Manchester area are being asked to cast their vote in a referendum.
They are being asked to vote for or against a proposal which includes both major investment in public transport and a weekday, peaktime only congestion charging scheme for some motor vehicles, notably private cars.
Organisations both for and against the idea have mounted spirited campaigns throughout the region. Pictured here are adverts from both camps and the ballot paper.
