Bristol Clean Air Zone petition sees thousands call for scheme to be scrapped

The number of people who have signed a petition calling on council chiefs to scrap the Clean Air Zone in Bristol is approaching 2,000, as a fundraising appeal to mount a legal challenge against it begins.

The campaign against the Clean Air Zone in Bristol has snowballed since the scheme went live on November 28, with drivers paying either a £9 or £100 daily charge depending on the size of their vehicle.

The numbers signing the petition have grown rapidly on the Change.org site, and are about to reach 2,000. And campaigners against the CAZ in Bristol are also joining with campaigners against a similar scheme in Manchester, who are raising money to mount a legal challenge against the new charges.
