| Comment | From what I have seen it’s mostly to force businesses to update their vehicles. We’ve all seen the old buses/taxis/trucks spewing out black smoke. I don’t know if the council have to appear fair and not just target the big companies thus have to enforce it to everyone.
It’s roughly petrol vehicles after 2005 and diesel vehicles after 2015 but there will be some that fall outside of those though. Classic cars, emergency services aswell don’t need to pay/abide by it I think.
I get why people are saying it’s another tax against the working class but how many people need to drive into the city centre? Its not a huge area that is classed in the zone you really need to drive into most of the time. Ontop of that it only affects you if you are driving a a heavily polluting car. |
