[Phantom]

Check if you will be charged to drive your motorhome in a clean air zone.

Bath wish to charge me £100/day to visit from 15th March in my motorhome even for just passing through on any main road!

[trevskoda]

Same idea with Bristol, London has a huge zone where you need a electric car

 

[trevskoda]

As I said on here before, you will be forced to buy electric, or sit at home, big brother is now in control, slowly but surely your rights are being withdrawn.

I wonder what will happen to the price of electricity once we`ve all been forced into using it

 

[Tookey]

Are authorities obligated to signpost such zones?

 

[Wooie1958]

Just checked both my vehicles

Car is showing no charge in either Bath or Birmingham and the motorhome is £100 in Bath and £50 in Birmingham.

 

[Tookey]

Odd, our 98 diesel would not be charged in Bath but would in Birmingham

I think if you have a blue badge your exempt but I may have got that wrong.

 

[st3v3]

Some big charges, my old car was 8 quid...

The are national exemptions and local exemptions.
There are also "small print" conditions e.g. exemption must be applied for and confirmed before journey and each exempted journey must be registered.
I would advise researching your individual circumstance and I am not liable for any charges incurred.

National https://www.gov.uk/guidance/driving-in-a-clean-air-zone#exemptions - "disabled passenger tax class vehicle"
Birmingham https://www.brumbreathes.co.uk/info/26/about-1/7/us-1/3 " Blue badge holders will not be exempt from the CAZ charge. "
Bath https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/get-exemption-or-discount-baths-clean-air-zone "Drivers of all higher emission PHGVs (larger motorhomes and horse transporters) can pay a daily charge of £9 rather than £100 in Bath’s CAZ."


Hope this helps.

Same for me. I'm surprised a dirty old diesel like mine could be described as clean.

It wouldnt be so bad if they had given a period of many years warning to allow time for cars to be gradually replaced. Hitting folk in the pocket like this seems very unfair. It needs to be done but not so rapidly. Then again as someone once said about the charging zone in London. Hoped it was many £££'s a day so it priced the poor folk of the road and allowed him to get to his city job much quicker.

 

[Robmac]

Suits me fine. I just won't visit these places in the van.

I doubt I would have anyway.

Bath and Bristol's, clean air zones have been in the pipeline for over 3 years, and have been in the local news for all that time. They don't affect all vehicles, many vehicles are still fine. They are being introduced due to the dangerously high levels of polution, something which is giving health problems right now.
