Depending on where you are travelling from, you may need to drive through the Birmingham Clean Air Zone to get to us. The Clean Air Zone will help tackle Birmingham’s air quality problem by charging the owners of the most polluting vehicles £8 per day for cars, taxi and LGVs and £50 a day for coaches, buses and HGVs. A non-compliant vehicle driving in the zone will pay once for the day, then may drive in the area without limit on that day. More information about how to pay can be found here.

You can check if your vehicle is compliant in the clean air zone here.
