Bristol Clean Air Zone test 'caught' thousands of drivers who will soon have to pay to enter city

Almost 100,000 drivers in and around Bristol have been warned they will have to pay a charge from next month for driving into the city centre, Bristol Live can reveal.

The drivers were all sent letters during the course of last week after triggering new cameras installed at the entrances to the soon-to-begin Clean Air Zone scheme during three weeks of September.

Bristol City Council said that approximately 95,000 letters had been sent out, advising drivers that their vehicles were too polluting to pass through the Clean Air Zone - which comes into force on November 28 - without incurring a charge.
