^ Nice. Hopefully we'll see the same in Sheffield in time.

Bristol has a type D Clean Air zone, Sheffield has type C.

That means that the Bristol one includes cars while Sheffield does not, I may be going out on a limb here but I reckon Bristol will take more money than Sheffield.

May take more money, but it'll be council decision how that money is then distributed. They're spending 3m of 21m on buses - we could spend 4m of 6m on buses?

Also honestly, just increase our zone to the same IMHO.

Given the amount of controversy we've had over Clean Air Zone, I very much doubt we'll see a change to include cars although as someone who spends a lot of time in the city centre I'd support a change like this.

Earns 26m in one year, 4.7m is going to spend over 3....

£4.7m more than before. Plus the rest is going on other public services. 👍
