Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee have put the measures in place.
Newly-introduced low emission zones in three major Scottish cities will save lives, the co-leader of the Scottish Greens has said.
But they have proven controversial with business owners amid concerns it could reduce the amount of people travelling to city centres.Lorna Slater, the co-leader of the Scottish Greens, said: “There is no such thing as a safe level of air pollution, and Low Emission Zones have a key role to play in delivering cleaner, greener and safer cities.
Kayleigh O’Neill, the party’s transport spokeswoman on Edinburgh City Council, and a candidate for the Edinburgh North and Leith seat at the General Election, said the measure will make the city cleaner and more accessible, adding: “The climate crisis will demand more radical action in the months and years ahead and that needs leadership.
