The Government is working with a number of local authorities to put in place the digital infrastructure to support Clean Air Zones. The vehicle compliance checker launched earlier this year, with the payment portal launching in the summer. This will enable users to check if they may be charged to drive in a zone.

Local authorities will be responsible for the enforcement of Clean Air Zones and the collection of any penalty payments arising.
