Glasgow City Council made more than £1m from Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in just over 10 months, according to new figures.
Glasgow City Council made more than £1m from its city centre Low Emission Zone in just over 10 months, according to newly-released figures.
The council said that profits - after deducting the cost of running the LEZ - would be reinvested in local net-zero and clean air projects. No formal decision has been made yet as to what these projects could be, as the council says the LEZ's full earnings will not be clear until after June. An "evaluation process" will then take place to decide what projects can be funded after operating costs have been determined and deducted from LEZ revenue.This typically means the zone will only have an impact on diesel vehicles registered before September 2015 and petrol vehicles registered before 2006.
