Council tells CAZ drivers at Asda Bedminster they won't be fined, then fines them

Bristol City Council have been fining drivers for breaching the Clean Air Zone in Bedminster, almost two months after stating they wouldn’t be.

Motorists in vehicles that don’t comply with the Clean Air Zone have been receiving fine notices for leaving the car park of Bedminster Asda on to Coronation Road, even though the council told Bristol Live at the start of December that stretch of road would be exempt from the zone.

Some drivers fear they may well be about to receive more than a dozen separate fines for making the short, 200-yard journey along Coronation Road - which they had been told would not be part of the Clean Air Zone. Bristol City Council has failed to respond to repeated requests for clarification from Bristol Live on the issue for almost two weeks.
