Coun Ben Miskell hails drop in 'polluting' vehicles driving through Sheffield's Clean Air Zone.
A comparison of October this year with November 2022 shows Private Hire Vehicles are 96 per cent compliant now compared to 77 per cent before the CAZ was launched and Light Goods Vehicles are 84 per cent compliant compared to 59 per cent before.
Overall the number of polluting vehicles using the CAZ is down by nearly two thirds overall, according to Coun Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate committee.
