In a statement, a spokesperson said: “Sorry we cannot comment on individual cases but can offer the following generic information: The Clean Air Zone is a Government directive and as such we have to distribute the grants and exemptions in line with the rules set out by the Government.
“If the Council were to vary the process for distribution of the grants and allocation of exemptions then the Government would be within their rights to clawback grant funding which had been incorrectly distributed. “Businesses registered within the Bradford District in the name of the applicant are eligible to apply for up to 3 vehicle exemptions from CAZ charges. Grant funding is available to replace or upgrade older vehicles for registered businesses and residents within the Bradford District.
“All information relating to grant eligibility and exemption eligibility can be found on our website. We would encourage anyone who is unsure about any aspect of the Clean Air Zone to call our team for factual advice about their specific situation on 01274 435533. We always try to help.”
