The Government set legal limits for pollution and Bristol needs to introduce a Clean Air Zone to ensure it meets those limits within the shortest possible time. Bristol’s zone starts on 28 November 2022.
You can use the government’s compliance checking tool (GOV.UK) to check if your vehicle would be charged. The restrictions in Bristol will mirror those already in place in Birmingham, so if your vehicle is compliant in Birmingham it will be compliant in Bristol.
We will be updating this page with more resources and information during 2022.
You can view a video explaining more about the Clean Air Zone below:
