Business concerns over Sheffield Clean Air Zone introduction

Alan Martin says the council support is "nowhere near" enough to cover the cost up upgrading three of his vans

Sheffield City Council said grants were available to buy cleaner vehicles and exemptions could also be applied for.He said the £5,000 grant on offer was "nowhere near" enough to cover the cost up upgrading three of his vans, which could cost £50,000 each. It said air pollution contributed to 500 deaths a year in Sheffield and could cause various health problems.

"I'm just sick to death of the whole thing," he said. "I can't get in touch with anybody to help to work out how we apply for this now." "There's some concerns from businesses in terms of can they get them in time, how will this actually work for them," he added.

Well it's been such a rip roaring success in Bradford...lol The Council is rolling in money from their Clean Air Zone. But the public haven't noticed an improvement in air quality.
