AN event will be held in Bradford’s City Park in a stand against the Clean Air Zone (CAZ).
Earlier this month, it was announced the CAZ would go live on September 26.
Bradford Council has been directed by Government to implement a CAZ to achieve compliance with legal limits for air quality.
But the move has prompted a great deal of concern and anger from people across the district who are opposed to the charges.
The ‘Say No to the Clean Air Zone’ roadshow will be held in the city centre on Saturday, July 2 between 10am and 2pm.
There will be leaflets, car stickers and information.
In a statement earlier this month, the Council said: "While the Council has put forward alternatives to a CAZ, the Government has instructed the Council that a charging CAZ is the only way that the district can comply with the direction in the shortest possible timeframe.”
However, it said it had asked the Government to "provide assurance that any future concessions which may be negotiated for other Caz cities will also be provided to Bradford businesses and residents".
To prepare for the launch anyone who feels they may be affected by the CAZ should check their vehicles at https://www.gov.uk/clean-air-zones.
