Local facts for Bradford
- At 9.35 square miles, Bradford has the largest clean air zone in England, more than ten times the area of Sheffield's. It is a class C scheme, so private cars are not charged but vans, taxis, private hire vehicles and lorries can be.
- Because the zone is that wide, much of the built-up district sits inside it rather than the tight city centre box used in the other English zone cities.
- 27.6% of Bradford households had no car or van at the 2021 census, against 23.5% across England.
- About 232,400 licensed cars were recorded in the district at the end of March 2026, and there were 550 public chargers at 1 April 2026.
