Low Emissions Zones, Clean Air Zones and Zero Emissions Zones have all generated millions in penalty charges.
UK Clean Air Zones, Low Emissions Zones and Zero Emissions Zones have generated more than £418m in fees and penalty charges since March 2021, new research has found.
Uncovered through a Freedom of Information request sent out by Peugeot, the findings found that Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone had pulled in over £79m in charges and fines between June 2021 and April 2023, with Bath’s Clean Air Zone attracting just shy of £10m. The Transport Act 2000 requires local authorities in England to re-invest any earnings from Clean Air Zones into the ‘delivery of local transport policies’. Birmingham City Council, for example, states that it has invested over £52 million from its Clean Air Zone to back hydrogen bus trials, improvements to train stations and development of better cycling infrastructure.
