Bristol's Clean Air Zone - which will charge drivers of the most polluting vehicles a minimum of £9 for driving in or near the city centre - will begin on November 28.
The Mayor of Bristol Marvin Rees made the announcement today, and said that three-quarters of vehicles that drive around the city centre won't be charged. Signs and cameras are already going up around the city on the edge of the CAZ, with a major public-awareness campaign starting with billboard posters up to warn people they could be charged.
The Clean Air Zone scheme has been controversially delayed several times and was initially due to come into force in October last year, but has repeatedly been pushed back and most recently was expected to be launched this September. Mayor Marvin Rees said that the latest launch delay was down to a “national issue with bus lanes”.
