Bristol City Council has launched the city's first Clean Air Zone designed to curtail air pollution in the city. From November 28, drivers of vehicles that do not comply with the emissions levels will have to pay a £9 charge stretching up to £100 for larger vans, trucks, coaches, buses or lorries.
Shoppers rushed to the city centre on Sunday (November 27) and Cabot Circus car park, in particular, was full before midday as people made the most of the last day before the operation was implemented. Houlton Street, where one of the entrances and exits for the Cabot Circus car park is, will fall just outside the Clean Air Zone.
To the North, the Clean Air Zone will cover Newfoundland Way to just past Houlton Street. It will then continue down Bond Street, up to St James Barton roundabout and then follow Marlborough Street. BristolLive has approached Cabot Circus to confirm the charges for the Cabot Circus car park, as it falls on the CAZ boundary.
