Bristol City Council’s Cabinet has approved a plan for a Clean Air Zone (CAZ) which has now been submitted to government.
The Council is also considering further measures as part of the wider Clean Air Plan to reduce emissions from other sources which will include having a full fleet of biofuel buses.
Initial plans to introduce a small area diesel ban is now going to apply just to private diesel cars and it will operate daily from 0700hrs-1500hrs.
Bristol will become the UK’s first city to apply these restrictions. Coaches and buses that do not meet Euro IV will be charged to enter the CAZ.
The deadline for the implementation of the plans is March 2021.
