SNP Councillor Jacqueline McLaren is driven around Glasgow in a 3 litre vehicle, but will now have to find alternative transport in the city centre Low Emissions Zone.
The limousine used to transport the Lord Provost of Glasgow will not be able to operate in the city centre after the new Low Emission Zone came into effect.
The new rules prohibit diesels registered before September 2015 and petrol motors registered before 2006, with hundreds owned by the council now banned. "This is a headline-grabbing legacy for Susan Aitken to be the first LEZ in Scotland, an example of the tail wagging the dog with the 10 Greens on the council and a money-making exercise after years of SNP funding cuts."
