BRISTOL COULD BECOME UK'S FIRST CITY TO LAUNCH BAN ON DIESEL VEHICLES
Other cities will be watching with interest
Bristol could become the UK's first city to introduce a ban on diesel vehicles to boost air quality.
The vehicles will be prohibited from entering a central area of the city between 7am and 3pm every day under proposals by Bristol City Council.
A wider charging zone for commercial vehicles such as buses, taxis, vans and lorries which do not meet certain emissions standards is part of the measures which could be implemented by March 2021.
There is also a plan to launch a car scrappage scheme to help diesel car owners buy an alternative vehicle.
