...over proposed changes to Bath Clean Air Zone.
Wiltshire Council has expressed its opposition and frustration at Bath & North East Somerset (BANES) Council’s proposals to extend its Clean Air Zone by introducing a charge for Euro VI diesel HGVs exceeding 12 tonnes.
The Leader of Wiltshire Council, Cllr Richard Clewer, has written to his BANES counterpart, Cllr Kevin Guy, to note Wiltshire Council’s strong opposition to the plans because of the potential damaging impact on Westbury, Corsham, Bradford on Avon and other West Wiltshire towns and villages.
The proposal was considered at BANES’ Cabinet meeting.
Also concerning Wiltshire Council is the continuation of the 18 tonnes weight limit on Cleveland Bridge on the A36 in Bath, despite repairs to the bridge now being substantially complete.
