I've never been to Bristol. Don't suppose I will ever want to. Certainly now they demonise my lovely CDTI...NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- 'em.

Certainly would NOT wish to pay the tax on a "company car." Gave that up over 10 years ago!

The council voted on it last night & gave the go ahead to ban diesels.

Thanks Ian for the latest. We have a place on the outskirts of Bristol and sometimes I have to drive into the centre of the city. Unlike a couple of the posters in this thread, I would not describe it as a sh hole or animal farm to live in. I ask if this scheme will spread across the UK?

I’m not getting this at all. Millions of diesel owners are being told “you are not welcome in Bristol.”
We are now going to hold you all to ransom until you buy a “clean” petrol car. Can I afford a new car? No.
Is my recently purchased 2013 diesel car now worthless?
Do I now write to Bristol city council and begin a claim for compensation on the purchase price?
I will certainly write to explain we will no longer be taking our grandchildren there for a weekend break again.
Perhaps I should now keep my “clean” V6 LPG 75 that is currently up for sale?
At least I can drive into Bristol.😂

And it means nothing until the government pass legislation to make it legal

Yes all local council authorities in the UK where there is congestion & pollution have been mandated by the government to implement these things whether it's outright diesel bans, CAZ, ULEZ's, or HGV,Taxi,Buses charged to enter to get them to change to electric transport.
Most of them are going through feasibility studies as we speak.

It will roll out across all cities before long, it’s just another stealthy way to remove diesel cars and force joe public into buying electric.

I wish folk would wake up and realise what is going on, all diesel owners should converge on Bristol and park up gridlocking the city, protest like the French do!

All that will happen is it will move pollution from the city centre to the surrounding areas, as drivers find side roads to travel along.
