A Bradford based business owner said the Clean Air Zone introduced last year has “made his life hell” - as he is forced to pay a daily £50 charge to get to his yard just six miles from home due to a scheme likened to ULEZ.

Mr Conway admits that his ordeal has affected his mental health considerably as he is struggling to keep his business afloat due to the limited profit margin his business makes when having to pay the fines.

“It’s taking a mental toll because you feel like no one is listening, it’s not important, everything that me and my dad worked for and built up,” he said. "We had a job in Saltaire and I planned for the congestion zone, when we went to go take [the wagon] down there were so many cars parked down the streets that we couldn’t get the wagon down. We could only get about a few hundred yards within where the job was based and all the lads said ‘shall we come back’ and I said I can’t afford it, so we had to spend an extra two hours walking all the gear up the street just because I couldn’t afford to pay for another day.

“There’s not a huge profit margin in it anymore, so getting a fine will wipe the entire profit for an entire job. But I know I won’t get any jobs if I ramp up prices to include the emissions fee.
