A resident living on the edge of the Clean Air Zone has said he is worried parking will become even worse once the scheme starts. They went as far as comparing Bristol to London, saying "you can not go anywhere without getting charged".
Reflecting the views being heard across the city, Barton Hill residents have expressed different views about the scheme. While some welcome the CAZ, some are worried it will have a detrimental effect on the area as drivers may park there to avoid the charges.
The scheme will be launching on November 28 - over a year late. Bristol City Council is legally required to introduce measures to cut harmful air pollution from vehicles driving in the city centre. Michael Williams, of Bright Street, said that parking in the area is already a problem. Mr Williams said he has lived in the area for 20 years and it has got a lot busier over time.
