Eight cities volunteered to trial LEZs, but not all of them delivered their feasibility studies by the deadline of 13 July, and Nice withdrew from the programme last month.

T&E’s French member FNE says financial assistance could be provided to lower-income drivers to keep the zones in a way that does not discriminate. The new French government is to review national clean air initiatives in the autumn, including LEZs.
