Half of Glasgow City Council's vehicles still not compliant with Low Emission Zone rules
More than half off of Glasgow City Council's own vehicles are not compliant with their own Low Emission Zone regulations.
The LEZ will operate 24 hours a day, all year round, in a bid to tackle “stubbornly high” levels of air pollution. Enforcement will begin from July 2023 but residents will have an extra year to comply meaning enforcement for vehicles registered to a residential property will begin June 2024. Eddie Grive, Scottish Private Hire Association's general secretary said: "Retrofitting options are not available to the private hire trade as they are the council.
"Last month, the Council's licensing committee revisited this. A motion was passed requesting a report be published from the Council's Executive with a view to increasing the age limit so that an evidence led decision can be made on the matter.
