Bradford CAZ: PCN issued before the scheme started
Bradford's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) only became enforceable on 26 September 2022. Any penalty charge notice (PCN) issued for an alleged offence that took place before that date was issued without legal authority. If your PCN relates to a date before 26 September 2022, the council had no power to issue it.
Legal basis
Bradford CAZ Order; Bradford CAZ commencement notice
How to identify this in your case
Bradford CAZ PCN with contravention date before 26 September 2022.
