Motorists who drive into Bristol’s new Clean Air Zone without paying the charge will be let off the £120 fine for the first six weeks of the scheme, as council chiefs try to bed the new system in gently.
Bristol Live understands there will be a ‘Special Payment Offer’ scheme set up by Bristol City Council which will run from the day the Clean Air Zone begins on November 28, through December and into the New Year, for drivers who are caught out by the cameras.
The offer scheme will run until January 8, but from Monday, January 9 - six weeks after the zone goes live - any motorist who drives into the Clean Air Zone with a vehicle that’s liable to pay the charge but hasn't, will have to pay the fine.
