Oxford's Zero Emission Zone And What It Means For Motorists

Air pollution is a growing problem throughout the UK, and many major cities are introducing schemes to monitor and reduce carbon emissions.

Oxford’s strong road links and awkward location mean many motorists frequently travel through its bustling city centre. However, this is due to change as Oxford will introduce a zero emission zone to reduce harmful vehicle emissions.

So far, Oxford is the only UK city to introduce this type of zone. However, we’re confident that more will follow suit as climate change grows in severity.

These changes mean more people are looking to scrap their high-emission vehicles with local agents. Our full guide lets you learn more about Oxford’s zero-emission zone.

Luckily, Scrap Local works with trusted Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) that can dispose of Oxford scrap cars safely and without any hassle.
