Bristol Rob Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm a bit confused about the proposal. What does the clean air zone actually mean for drivers, and is the map available to view anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you any better ideas? Council clearly have a bit of a spotlight on them, need to do- and be seen to be doing- something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proposal reminds me, before the smoking ban in pubs etc came into force, of smoking areas in such places. I clearly recall the smoking area in the Frenchay Harvester. A good idea perhaps, but no one told the smoke that it had to stay in the designated area. I am not an environmental scientist, but I worked for BCC for most of my working life. This is typical of the council doing sweet fa and dragging their heels until they get to a stage that something must be done, and this is the cobbled together result.

Erithacus Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I haven't read the entire proposal but I note that Ashton Gate, the stadium and much of the surrounding roads are within the Clean Air Zone Congestion charge. Am I right in thinking the council may extract £9 from fans with non-compliant Euro6 (diesel) and Euro4 (petrol) cars on matchdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC report states that private vehicles will not incur a charge to enter the wider CAZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hmmm, that would mean they would have to be particularly vigilant on the traffic. Do they have a good enough database to do that? And how many commercial drivers would take their private vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine if you are coming from the south, but drivers from the north will be had pressed to avoid the central diesel ban zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
