Frustrated drivers have blasted the council for hitting them with Clean Air Zone fines when their vehicles are such low polluters that they don't pay road tax. Stephen Challis and his father, Michael, both from Neath in Wales visited the Bristol in March.
Stephen Challis said his 75-year-old father was driving a 2014 Peugeot 308 diesel 1.6 vehicle which falls into a zero road tax category when the pair drove from Wales to a motorcycle shop on Bath Road on 25 March. Stephen said: “I know of the clean air zone, but I don’t know much about it.
“In my mind, it was an inner city thing, so we skirted around the edge and I didn’t realise we were in the clean air zone,” he said. But then his father received a CAZ fine in mid-May.
