Still doesn't really make the current expansion a story of national interest though, apart from maybe a warning to other authorities thinking of introducing one to have a more measured introduction to give people more time to replace non compliant cars, especially during a cost of living crisis where the price of used cars have rocketed (I've seen far too many people say "they can get a decent compliant car for a grand or so"- they've clearly not looked at the price of used cars recently)- I think that's the main reason it's been so headline grabbing.
