Glasgow city centre will be turned into a “ghost town” it has been claimed by opponents of the Low Emission Zone after it lost its bid to stop the scheme.
She said the council acted in line with information provided to them by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Angus Millar, transport and climate convenor, said: “Air pollution creates and exacerbates people’s health conditions and contributes to hundreds of deaths in Glasgow every year, worsening health inequalities and disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable.
“It costs Scotland £1.1 billion per year, draining our resources, straining our health care system and cutting short roughly 2,700 lives.
