CLEAN AIR ZONE CHARGING STARTS next week Next Week the Clean Air Zone in Sheffield will begin charging non-compliant vehicles from midnight on Monday, February 27, 2023. In 2017, the Government legally directed Sheffield City Council to implement the Clean Air Zone to reduce the dangerous levels of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in the city. Since then, between 2018 and 2022, NO2 readings have regularly been taken and shown Sheffield exceeds the legal NO2 limits in a number of places. To tackle this problem quickly and improve the health of local people, a Clean Air Zone
(CAZ) is being introduced. The charges will apply to the following vehicle types that do not meet the minimum standards when entering the Clean Air Zone boundary: • Taxis, including both hackney carriages and private hire vehicles, which are below Euro 6 Diesel or Euro 4 Petrol standards • Light goods vehicles (LGVS) such as vans, campervans and pickup trucks and minibuses which are below Euro 6 Diesel or Euro 4 Petrol standards • Buses and coaches which are below Euro 6 Diesel standards • Heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) which are below
ST PATRICK’S
WEEKEND
Euro 6 Diesel standards Private cars and motorbikes will not be charged. Vehicle owners can check whether they will be charged in Sheffield, and for other Clean Air Zones elsewhere, via the government’s online vehicle checker. How will it help clean up Sheffield’s air? Older, polluting vehicles are a major source of air pollution. The Clean Air Zone will encourage those with the oldest, most polluting vehicles who regularly drive into the zone to upgrade to a cleaner vehicle. The impact of the
zone will be much broader than the city centre. Cleaner vehicles mean reduced emissions across the city, not just in the Clean Air Zone. What are the charges? Only the most polluting vehicles which do not meet the minimum standards will have to pay a charge, if they enter the Clean Air Zone. It is a daily charge enter the zone. The charging day runs from 12:00am to 11:59pm.
The charges are: • £10 per day for vans/LGVs and Taxis • £50 per day for coaches, buses and lorries/HGVs
