Bristol Clean Air Zone
Bristol City Council is introducing a Clean Air Zone to reduce harmful pollution from older and more polluting vehicles. The zone will start operating later this year.
To ensure that people driving into Bristol are aware of the Zone, Bristol City Council have produced a community toolkit. The toolkit includes information about the zone and items to help people understand the zone and how it may affect them.
Damage to vehicles
Between the hours of 22:00 on 24th December 2021 and 10:00 on 25th December 2021, a large number of vehicles belonging to residents of Flax Bourton were damaged.
