Glasgow's Low Emission Zone BANS older cars from entry
Daily MailScotland's first Low Emission Zone is now live and being enforced - and it will see drivers of older vehicles entering it hit with huge fines that increase for each subsequent breach. Scotland's first vehicle emission charging zone is live: Enforcement of Glasgow's LEZ started on Thursday 1 June. Escalating penalties for drivers of non-compliant cars means its stricter than London's ULEZ Instead of being able to pay a non-compliance charge like London's £12.50-a-day ULEZ and £8 for Birmingham's CAZ, the Glasgow LEZ will see owners of ineligible motors issued with a Penalty Charge Notice each time they enter. With the Glasgow LEZ operational continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round, it will force thousands of drivers to ditch their older cars - if they haven't done so already 'It’s worth having the debate about whether this is fairer than the ‘pay to pollute’ daily fee option provided by schemes such as London’s ULEZ,' Griffiths said. pic.twitter.com/E3EtSzhQp3 — Glasgow Labour Group May 29, 2023 'LEZ is an important milestone for cleaner air in Glasgow', says SNP councillor Commenting on the zone coming into force, councillor Angus Millar, the SNP convener for climate and transport in Glasgow said earlier this month: 'Expanding the reach of the LEZ to include all vehicles is an important milestone in ensuring cleaner air for Glasgow - addressing levels and concentrations of air pollution which have remained stubbornly high in the city centre in breach of the legal limits.
