Bath and North East Somerset Council cabinet has approved a recommendation for the proposed clean air zone which rules out charges for cars but will charge higher emission buses, coaches, HGVs, LGVs/vans, private hire vehicles and taxis.
Proposed charges for higher emission vehicles in the zone are: £100 for buses, coaches and HGVs and £9 for LGVs/vans, private hire vehicles and taxis.
More detailed information on the scheme, including bids for funding, will be sent to central government. After receiving approvals and funding needed, the council will then start the formal processes for implementing the scheme including any required consultation, with the aim of the scheme starting in December 2020.
