Tyneside CAZ — LGV charged before enforcement started

The Tyneside Clean Air Zone was switched on in stages. Buses, coaches, heavy lorries and taxis were brought in first, and light goods vehicles (LGVs) were only added later. If your PCN was issued for an LGV before the LGV enforcement phase officially started, the charge cannot be enforced against you.

Legal basis

Tyneside CAZ Order; phased commencement orders

How to identify this in your case

LGV PCN with contravention date before the LGV enforcement phase commencement.
