Anyone knows what happens if the road you were going to use is shut and the temporary diversion goes into a zone ? 🤔

You  have to sell your current vehicle right there , on the spot and immediately purchase a new vehicle with a Euro 6.2 power plant before you can pass the little yellow diversion sign .

Crazy isn’t it. For someone just starting off I now need to get a vehicle with E6 emissions (2016 or newer) so setting up my business will take much longer. There is a scheme they are setting up and you can apply from Jan 2022. They will offer you money or a 0% interest loan on vehicles. Still not good enough in my opinion but I genuinely think it’s good for the environment, however it’s kick in the teeth for workies

I’ve just had notification from Bath of prosecution a month later.

Didn’t see any signs, too busy trying to stay in the correct lane and stuck in the traffic chaos due to roadworks on a major bridge.

 

Said to my Mrs, nice here, we’ll have to have a weekend, and I’ll be down there working anyway after Christmas.

No surprise in that I’ll not be visiting town, and will stay Wiltshire side to avoid driving through again.

 

We pay enough already for driving without this load of shite lumped on top.

Bath has form for putting their signs in obscure places, at one time a single bus lane was a fairly major revenue source for them 😠

Hope they share some revenue with the business owners when people simply go elsewhere.

 

Part of Stoke is about to have the same, it’s going to be an absolute tumbleweed only zone, as people will simply find alternatives.

You have to feel for the business owners having this stuff inflicted on them.
