Test cameras for the Clean Air Zone have started going up around Bristol, the council has revealed. Last week, it was announced that the scheme has once again been delayed and will now be launching towards the end of the year.
Mayor Marvin Rees said that the launch delay was down to a “national issue with bus lanes”. The Clean Air Zone was initially due to come into force in October last year, but has faced repeated delays.
Recently it was expected to be launched this September, but this will now likely be pushed back again due to a change in regulations on bus lanes. Mr Rees said the city council has done “everything we can” and blamed Westminster for the delays.
