A holidaymaker who had not driven into Bristol for around five years was surprised when he received two penalty fines for going through the Clean Air Zone on his way to and from Bristol Airport. Frustrated Colin Gunney said he followed signs from the M5 heading to the airport and back in April.
He received two penalty notices, one week after another, around six weeks after returning home from a holiday in France. The Swindon resident said: “I understand there are no grounds to appeal.
"You come off the M5 following signs to the airport and if there are signs for the Clean Air Zone, I didn’t spot them. If you haven’t seen them, you get no option but to pay the fee. It was at least five years since I drove into Bristol.
