Bath Clean Air Zone — Approved Retrofit Certificate Held

Bath's Clean Air Zone allows buses, coaches, taxis, and heavy goods vehicles to enter if they hold a valid certificate from the government-approved retrofit scheme (called CVRAS). This scheme certifies that pollution-reducing equipment has been fitted to your vehicle. If your vehicle had one of these certificates on the date you got the ticket, the penalty charge should be cancelled.

Legal basis

Bath CAZ Order; Clean Vehicle Retrofit Accreditation Scheme (CVRAS)

How to identify this in your case

Vehicle holds a CVRAS certificate covering the contravention date.
