Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
(11 Sep 2021, 8:24 am)Adrian Yup, watered down to the max.
The idea behind the scheme is good, but ultimately it has ended up whereby only buses, coaches and HGVs are held to the highest of standards. In a vein attempt to retain votes, Councillors opposed any inclusion of the private car, which I believe was in the initial proposal.
So you're basically fine to have a street congested with 15 year old diesel cars, but if a bus operator dares to send a Euro 5 bus in, they're slapped with a fine.
