Council chiefs have moved to close off a ‘hole’ in the ring of Clean Air Zone cameras around Bristol city centre after they had to turn one off to allow lorries to reach an industrial estate.
CAZ cameras have been installed at the end of Coronation Road in Bedminster - a spot that’s already in the Clean Air Zone - because the council has had to turn off cameras a few hundred yards away and create a diversion for drivers who shouldn’t pay the charges.
Last month, Bristol Live revealed the existence of a 230-yard stretch of Coronation Road which was both within the Clean Air Zone and not part of the zone at the same time. Now the council has confirmed what they’ve done to sort out this situation - amid concerns that the existence of a ‘hole’ in the CAZ ring of cameras could mean drivers of non-compliant vehicles might be able to access the city centre without being clocked by the CAZ enforcement cameras.
