'There is no flip-flopping for Labour. We are consistent in our desire to deliver an LEZ, but we are also consistent in our support for our citizens' | RedmondLabour ✍️
You see today, the SNP administration has chosen to bulldoze ahead with the introduction of the LEZ into Glasgow’s city centre, despite stark warnings from businesses, residents and charities.
Cars, that are mostly the means by which our taxi and private licence car drivers make their living. Vans that our charities, third sector organisations and volunteers use to provide vital services to vulnerable groups across the city. And older vehicles that some of our residents afford to allow them to go to work, visit sick relatives or make vital hospital visits.
When the motion came up for debate again in full council, earlier this year, we asked for a postponement of the LEZ. There is no flip-flopping for Labour. We are consistent in our desire to deliver an LEZ, but we are also consistent in our support for our citizens.Figures already show that Glasgow’s emission rates are under control and that there is vital time there to allow our business and charities a chance to get on board properly.
