Drivers can now steer clear of the Bath Clean Air Zone following an update to a sat nav app. 

Waze now lets users indicate if their vehicle is due to be charged so they can use alternative routes or get a reminder to pay the charge when they enter. It says the routing will “help drivers steer clear of unnecessary fines and ultimately reduce carbon footprint by finding optimal routes to travel”. 

Residents have voiced concerns drivers dodging the charges are finding new rat runs and spreading pollution across the city. B&NES Council is set to review the first months of operation in the autumn – and leader Kevin Guy said the boundary could be moved or changed.
