Temporary exemptions for Bristol's Clean Air Zone have been extended to the end of March next year, the city's mayor has confirmed. The exemptions were originally due to finish at the end of 2022 - which would have meant they were only in place for just over a month.
The CAZ will be launching on November 28 - over a year late, with the scheme initially due to come into force in October 2021. The temporary exemptions will be in place for certain eligible groups such as residents in the zone, people working within the zone and earning less than £26,000 a year as well as Blue Badge holders.
Patients and visitors attending hospitals in the zone would also be covered by the exemptions. Applications for the exemptions - which will end on March 31, 2023 - are due to open this month and you can find out more on the council's website here.
