00:00In Bristol, Labour councillors are calling for £5 million from the city's clean air zone income to be spent on improving bus services rather than creating new resident parking zones.
00:13Under current council plans, several neighbourhoods could soon require drivers to buy permits to park near their homes.
00:20Bristol City Council says the new zones aim to stop commuters from leaving cars on residential streets and to make parking easier for locals.
00:30The rollout is expected to begin next year and continue into early 2027, starting with Ashton Gate, Westbury, Lookwell Road, Parsons Street, Totterdown and Windmill Hill.
00:44Later phases through 2027 and early 2028 would include Ashley Down, Ashton Vale, Bishopston, Henleys, Malango Vale, Perrots Park, St Andrews, Upper Easton and East Totterdown.
01:01The total cost of the scheme is £7.5 million, with around two-thirds funded by clean air zone revenue.
01:09The council expects to recover that money through parking permits and pay and display machines.
01:15Carers who drive to people's homes are among those affected, but the council says discretionary permits are available for care visits tied to the address of the person receiving care.
01:26Labour argues the clean air zone money would make a greater impact if used for bus improvements.
01:33Some CAS funding has already supported new routes and overnight services and Labour says another £5 million could further improve connections.
