Portsmouth port is not in the zone
Portsmouth CAZ
- Thread starter Badknee
- Start date
Anyone,who uses the Shell garage to top up just after the entrance to the ferry terminal will now have to find another garage as this one is going to be just inside the new zone . So beware.

According to the first post of this Thread it is; reference to £50 charge

Ok. Needs further research. Though why they would want to fine thousands of ferry customers is beyond me. BF will have something to say about that.

This is the start of a slippery slope, all towns and cities will eventually want the revenue these schemes raise, then when we are all electric,where will they go for the revenue, but sir your electric vehicles batteries are too old, your motor home is 6inches above the height allowed, we have started planning IOW for next year, our van is ok for now but for how long. After that IOW would lose our custom even though the £16 fee is hardly earth shattering it's the principle.

Just go straight down the M275 spur, returning the same way and you'll be fine. You can even go down the Eastern Road to get to Southdowns Motorhomes without encroaching as well.

I am in contact with the CAZ helpline and she is convinced it’s in.
I’m also in contact with BF and await a reply but I think your right. Totally bonkers.

I live 18 miles from Portsmouth. The cross channel ferry terminal is outside of the zone provided you enter Portsmouth from the M275.
Isle of wight ferries will be affected unless you travel from Lymington or Southampton.

Received this morning.
Good Morning Paul,
Are you referring to the International Port? If so, this port isn't in the CAZ so you get into it without the charges if your vehicle is non-compliant. I was talking Weightlink so we might have misunderstood each other. There's a CAZ Google map that you can use to look up location/address :

You can avoid it by taking the right fork into Princess Anne Road, right at the lights into Flathouse Road, find a spot to spin round and return out via Princess Anne Road northwards on to the M275 again. Easier to fill up and cheaper at Tesco Northarbour or Sainsburys, Broadcut Fareham though.
Looking at the maps posted, it seems Port Solent is also outside of the zone.
So we're ok for overnight stays?

Yes fine
Weightlink??
I think she needs to do her homework full stop!
Just goes to show that had you not done your research, you could have bought a permit and waisted £50 or £100 just on bad advice from the company that oversees charging.
Now I know that you're all queuing up to visit us up here, but Bradford's CAZ starts in January.
So do remember to factor is your fees.
Trouble is, our council was set a government target to reduce the old ones who are over weight with flatulence, but ended up getting it all mixed up and introducing a clean air zone aimed at old and heavy vehicles, some of which spit out excessive fumes!

Looks like when the greater manchester clean air comes in.......
Getting to M60 (1 mile) £50
If I drive through London (which I don't ) £200
Get Diverted or lose my way through Brum or Pompey.....£50 + £50 .....
Yet a gas guzzling super car is no charge
Plus the amount of newer euro 5/6 diesels, even petrol with knackered engines I see on the road spewing out black smoke.

Seems no one can make an honest mistake anymore, like not making it clear which port/terminal they are referring to. And who knows, "Weightlink" could be the demon spell checker at work correcting Wightlink.Weightlink??

That said, can't imagine that Wightlink are too chuffed to see that they fall into the CAZ, making what is apparently, mile for mile, already one of the most expensive ferry crossings in the world just a tad more expensive. You have to search quite hard on their site to find reference to the CAZ. Still, won't effect me, just checked on https://cleanerairportsmouth.co.uk and our old girl is fine . . . .

Thanks for that link. We have been invited to stay at our daughter's place in Pompie for Krizzy, was worried about the CAZ zone which looks very close to hers. It's come up with NO CHARGE for our van! Not sure I want to trust the website though, as using our normal route there briefly goes inside the zone, just. One wrong turn, zap!
I fear this is just the beginning, like London the zones will increase in size year on year until there is no longer a way to avoid paying these stealth taxes. The M25 is the boundary that is now in the planning stage.
Don't quote me but if you followed the link and bunged your van's details into the checker and it says "no charge", that means you are free to roam Portsmouth at will. Parking a moho in Pompey on the other hand . . . the second most densely populated City outside London with on street parking that reflects that . . .

There's a 2.1m barrier at the Portsmouth P&R! So where can we park? I know, the street outside their house... Where we can park for a small charge pre-registered on t'internet. It's a pvc, even so it's slightly wider than the white parking lines, but I've never been fined. We even had discussed overnighting in it, as it's in a 20mph zone. I think most car drivers think it's a 120mph zone. So we wouldn't get much sleep.

Port Solent, only a 5 minute drive into the town from there.
Could also try Portsdown Hill for free parking.

There's the kebab van up there too opposite the Churchillian pub plus QA hospital below you for when you get gastro enteritis.
Seriously, if you want to be sure and avoid the CAZ skip the M275 into the city, continue east and come down the A2030 Eastern Road.

Well whether or not it's inside the CAZ or not any member who like me gets their vehicle excise Duty waived due to disability then you are not liable for the fee at Southampton
or Manchester or any CAZ
but the London ULEZ still charges disabled drivers (BTW £100 of our vehicle)

That’s Micks Monster Burger van, open 24/7 and always busy.
The better one is if you carry on along the road to thr roundabout and there is an American type van much better bacon rolls
