The ban starts from June 1 next year, although residents living in the zone have until June 2024 to comply.
Plans to ban certain cars from entering Glasgow’s low emission zone are moving forward with cameras being installed to enforce the new rules.
Taxi drivers who aren't able to get their vehicle retrofitted would have an exemption of a year - but will need a compliant motor to operate beyond June 1, 2024 under proposals. The report said: “Installation of enforcement infrastructure is also underway with electrical supplies, ducting, camera poles etc. installed at most locations. This work is expected to be fully complete by the end of 2022.”The LEZ will cover an area of the city bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, the River Clyde to the south and Saltmarket, High Street to the east.
"We need to balance the need for real climate action with protecting people's livelihoods so it is good to see that the Council will offer new exemptions through to 2024 for local residents and taxi operators who will struggle to comply with the new rules in time.
