‘Tyrone Dobbs’ - Alan Halsall – launched the campaign Saturday 26 July 2003 on one of the North West’s most famous streets – Coronation Street.

Alan, with the help of the fully trained ‘Testing Team’, conducted an emissions level test on his own vehicle.

He was very pleased when his vehicle passed the test!
