A couple who live 140 miles away and have never been to Bristol keep getting fined for breaching the city’s new Clean Air Zone - because of a dark-coloured bolt on the number plate of a completely different car.
Andrew and Fiona Robison said they have asked Bristol City Council’s Clean Air Zone enforcement team to stop fining them - and despite assurances from top council chiefs that it won’t happen again, it still is.
After being sent the last couple of fine notices, the couple say they were told the only person left they could speak to about their complaint was Stephen Peacock, the council’s chief executive. The council has apologised for the inconvenience caused by the error and said the couple will not incur anymore charges.
