Sheffield Clean Air Zone

This is a class C chargeable Clean Air Zone for the most polluting vehicles that drive into it. You might need to pay to drive in the zone if your vehicle does not meet certain emissions standards. 

You can pay the daily charge either six days before you travel, on the day you travel or six days after you have travelled.

You can check if your vehicle is chargeable through this page. Private passenger cars and motorbikes will not be charged.

Cost of living support

According to the Office for National Statistics, 91% of adults in Great Britain reported an increase in their cost of living in October-November 2022.

Low-income households spend a larger proportion than average on energy and food, so are more affected by price increases. Food bank charities are reporting an increase in demand: the Trussell Trust reported that in April-September 2022, they provided almost 1.3 million emergency food parcels, a third more than in the same period in 2021 and 50% more than pre-pandemic levels.
