Just under £24 million was given to deliver Sheffield and Rotherham’s Clean Air Plans. Of that, £3.5 million was allocated from the implementation fund, which will be used for setting up the charging zone and road schemes, and £20.4 million from the Clean Air Fund, which will be used to help drivers upgrade.

A consultation focusing on this financial support will start in November.

Private cars and motorbikes will not be charged and there are a number of other exemptions for vehicles such as those used by charities, emergency services, the military and for agricultural work.
