Bristol Clean Air Zone survey suggests majority of people do not agree with scheme

The majority of Bristol Live readers who responded to our survey on the Clean Air Zone do not agree with it. Of the 438 responses received, 59.8 per cent (262 responses) said they didn't concur with the new scheme.

Bristol City Council revealed last month that the CAZ is expected to launch in September. Designed to curb traffic air pollution, the Clean Air Zone will see drivers of older, more polluting vehicles - an estimated 75,000 a day - charged to enter an area of the city centre.

The council has previously said that it estimates that about three in 10 vehicles in Bristol will attract the charges, which were set at £9 for smaller vehicles and £100 a day for larger vehicles. It has also previously said that the city is under a legal duty to introduce a clean air zone to reduce toxic pollution caused by traffic in the shortest possible time.
