Liverpool City Council is considering options for a charging Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in the city.
The council has been instructed by government to produce a clean air plan, which will detail how air quality can be improved within the shortest possible time. As part of this, the city is required to look at whether a charging CAZ scheme could work for the city.
At present, the council is working to develop an air quality plan across the city that does not include a CAZ, but it is required to look at the options of how one may work. A Clean Air Zone is defined as 'a targeted measure to improve air quality resulting from pollution from vehicles and a measure to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide emissions which are harmful to human health.'
