BUSINESSES operating in and around Leeds urgently need clarification on Leeds City Council’s newly approved Clean Air Zone (CAZ), according to the FTA, to understand how to access funding to replace banned commercial vehicles when the low emission zone comes into effect in February 2020. Without this funding, FTA believes that many companies will find it impossible to replace their existing fleets, and will struggle to fulfil business contracts in and around the city.
However, the exemption of three core industrial areas from the proposed Zone until 2024 could mitigate the worst potential economic damage the zone presents to the local economy.
