With just a few weeks left until the launch of Bradford’s Clean Air Zone, many Leeds residents may be wondering if the introduction of a similar scheme can be expected in their city anytime soon.
The zones form part of a wider strategy by the UK government to help improve the air quality in towns and cities around the country, with several parts of Yorkshire due to launch Clean Air Zones later this year.
Under the plans, motorists will be charged fees, sometimes up to as much as £60 a day, to travel in the set zone boundary if their vehicle does not meet a specific low emission standard.
