Bristol Clean Air Zone: Bath residents chip in on debate after street split by boundary

Residents and even people from further afield have been sharing their thoughts on news that Bristol's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) boundary will fall in the middle of a street in South Bristol - and it's safe to say many of them have been left feeling a bit baffled. Just days ago BristolLive reported that Osborne Road, just off Coronation Road, is one of the streets in the city which will be split by the CAZ boundary when the scheme launches at the end of November.

And people have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the matter - including some of the street's own residents, who say they are trying to work out how they can bypass it - some have said it's "not right". Meanwhile, others have questioned how the split will affect house prices on the road and some Bath residents have even chipped in and shared their own experiences of living with a CAZ in their own city.

The Clean Air Zone scheme will be launching on November 28 (it is actually a year late) and comes as Bristol City Council is require by law to introduce measures to cut harmful air pollution from vehicles driving in the city centre. And, already, some taking to the comments have been joking that "the clean air is clever enough not to cross the street", while others have pondered why other types of vehicles aren't facing similar charges.
