New figures published show Bath’s Clean Air Zone is continuing to improve air quality in the city and that the number of chargeable vehicles is decreasing.

The data shows an average 14% decrease in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels within the CAZ in the last quarter compared with the same period in 2019.

Air quality has also improved at locations including Gay Street and Upper Bristol Road. Levels of NO2 at Wells Road, Victoria Buildings, Broad Street, and Chapel Row have increased but the Council says this is expected to stabilise once temporary works impacting traffic have been completed, including the Cleveland Bridge renovation project.
