Sheffield – Clean Air Zone Implementation
Work on implementing the Clean Air Zone for Sheffield is underway despite the final date and some other details still to be confirmed. Installation of signs and enforcement cameras has started and this work will continue over the rest of the summer period.
The Clean Air Zone, which will cover the inner ring road and city centre, is due to be implemented in Spring 2023. It will impact Bus and Coach vehicles which will need to meet Euro VI standards, or pay a £50 daily charge, and minibuses / coaches which must also meet Euro VI requirements (or Euro IV if they have a petrol engine) or pay a £10 daily charge. A map of the area covered can be found here https://bit.ly/3w4iCor. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras will detect non-compliant vehicles entering the zone.
As well as confirmation on the exact date of implementation, details on the financial support available to those affected and how to apply has not yet been announced. Sheffield City Council have said that information will be made available in the coming months.
The scheme excludes all private cars, motorbikes and mopeds. The City Council claim that these make up 80% of road traffic but only create 50% of the pollution.
