CAZ | Birmingham's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) comes into force today affecting all roads within the A4540 Middle Ring Road
From 1 June, drivers of older polluting cars, taxis and vans who travel into the centre of Birmingham will face a daily charge of £8, while buses, coaches and HGVs will be charged £50 a day
It is anticipated a quarter of cars in the city will be affected but there are temporary exemptions for commercial and community vehicles, and some workers and residents
Birmingham City Council has announced that it will introduce the Clean Air Zone through a 'soft launch' of the scheme
This means that drivers will not have to pay a daily fee from 1st to 13th June 2021
However, from 14 June, the owners of non-compliant vehicles will be required to pay the daily fee (unless exemptions are in place)
