Commercial vehicles will be charged up to £50 a day to enter the new clean air zone.
Private cars, motorbikes and mopeds will not be charged under the clean air zone rulesPlans to start charging drivers of taxis, vans, buses, coaches and lorries that do not meet Euro 6 Diesel or Euro 4 Petrol emission standards were delayed during the pandemic.Councillor Julie Grocutt said the zone will "protect current and future generations in our city".
Ms Grocutt, co-chair of the transport regeneration and climate policy committee, said the council was legally required to introduce the CAZ but that it also supports the plans. "We cannot ignore these damaging effects and must implement important schemes such as the CAZ for the benefit of our city." Clean air zones are soon to be launched in Bristol, Newcastle and Gateshead. Plans for a zone in Greater Manchester are currently being reviewed.
