Portsmouth CAZ (1 Viewer)

[Badknee]

Just had a conversation with CAZ helpline and found out our motorhome falls in the HGV category and will be charged £50.00 each way to get too and from the ferry terminal at Portsmouth as there is no way to get there without entering the CAZ. I just don’t understand why they are going to penalise every hgv and van using the port? Crazy in my opinion.

 

[Howard B]

Is that due to it being over 3500kg or age related?

 

[March Hare]

Hi Paul, just in case you haven’t found it, there’s a gov.uk website where you can check on your potential CAZ charges, and and it will explain any charges for your vehicle…

The ferry port is outside the area unless you intend to drive through the city centre from the sea end.

 

[Robert Clark]

No charge for us

Both probably.

I was referring to Brittany Ferries terminal but you may mean the IoW one one Gosport which are insid3 the zone

Not according to them……

Hi Paul,

I'm afraid the ferry terminal is in the the Clean Air Zone.

[Badknee]

So if “Magdelana” from the CAZ helpline is correct it’s £50 in and £50 out. I’m now contacting BF to see if they have any info about wether or not their terminal is in the zone..

 

[Badknee]

Which ferry

I queried the Santander ferry terminal.

 

[Mikeco]

According to the map it’s outside

I’ve had a look at that map but it seems that you have to go into the CAZ to get to the terminal

No you don’t, you turn off the motorway before it starts I checked as I needed to know.

I don’t see it that way. Terminal is higher up the map.

 

[Robert Clark]

Good for you.

Indeed - thank you

Here’s how the charge is calculated

Hope so.

They are sods in Portsmouth. I got a ticket there a few months back for wandering into a bus lane whilst trying to find the bloody signs for parking for the historic dockyard

Hopefully Paul Badknee you can get to the terminal without entering the zone.

It seems bonkers if you can’t.

I explained exactly where I wanted to get to and exactly where I was coming from, what motorway I would be using and was told I would have to pay.
The M25 and both north and south circular roads are toll free so a direct journey to the terminal seems a bit harsh. We shall see.

I told her I wanted the Santander ferry not cross channel.

 

[funflair]

According to the map Paul Badknee you are outside the CAZ using the international ferry terminal so I wouldn't panic

 

[Mikeco]

It will not be a problem as the Brittany Ferry Terminal is clearly outside the CAZ , whoever told you was wrong.

So it seems, panic over.

Silly woman, I’ll be having words

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Seems they have designated the roughest part of Portsmouth as a clean air Zone, can see them residents taking notice of that
Them cameras will come down quicker than it took to put them up

 

[DavidG58]

I hadn’t realised how expensive these charges are hope they will be very clearly signed and before last exit option hopefully

It does seem that some places are after fines money more then people spending in shops and eaterys

That's the idea,to catch you out and fine you.

 

[marchie]

One 'advantage' [if such it is] of driving to the Channel Ports is that they are pretty much all within a range of 485-510 miles. So we can cross Portsmouth off the list and aim for Newhaven
