Bristol City Council's own finance report shows the CAZ needs a rising supply of fines to fund itself — proof, paid for in first-class stamps, that air was never going to stay inside a line on a map.
I think that the CAZ will be abolished in a few years, once the air monitoring points all show "green". But I expect the Green Council will just move the goalposts on what they are measuring (e.g. particulates) and keep the CAZ.
Or they could drive more traffic onto some roads in the CAZ (e.g. Coronation Road increased traffic due to SBLN) to stop in going "Green".
When (or if) the CAZ goes then BCC will replace it with another charging scheme (e.g. Workplace Parking Levy or Congestion Charge).

Correct, in every respect. Chris. Every way to screw more money out of people. The most hit being the less well off.
