People travelling into Bristol city centre may be able to avoid the Clean Air Zone charge if they park in Cabot Circus. The shopping centre sits on the boundary of Bristol Clean Air Zone, meaning those who are driving non-compliant vehicles may be charged if they use this car park, depending on which entrance and exit they choose.
Bristol Clean Air Zone launched on November 28 as part of the council's initiative to improve the city's air quality. The city exceeded the legal limits for air pollution at 28 test sites in 2021 - but over 71 per cent of vehicles travelling into Bristol already meet the zone's emission standards.
BristolLive spoke to shoppers in Broadmead on the inaugural day of the CAZ to see whether they supported the new charges. Many supported it on the grounds of improving air quality but there was a concern over how businesses in Broadmead would be impacted.
