A financial assistance scheme to help businesses and individuals in Bristol impacted by the introduction of the clean air zone (CAZ) has been announced.
Bristol City Council has appointed Anglo Scottish Asset Finance, an asset finance broker, to deliver the scheme, which will provide support in the form of grants and/or financing to help reduce the cost of replacing non-compliant vehicles and avoid paying a daily charge for driving in the CAZ.
The CAZ will charge the most polluting vehicles to drive in the city centre from Monday, November 28, 2022. The charges will be in force 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with buses and coaches facing a cost of £100 a day.
