More than 35,000 fines have been issued since Glasgow’s LEZ came into force.
An update shows in the first nine months of enforcement, since June last year, a total of 35,195 fines have been handed out to drivers who fell foul of the scheme.The latest monthly total showed there were 113 cases where the fine reached a maximum of £960 because they had been penalised for the fifth time.The fine doubles for each subsequent breach up to a maximum of £960.
The zone and how it has been implemented has been the subject of criticism and protests including from some in the business community and taxi trade. Last month the Glasgow Times reported how a Glasgow business had dropped its appeal against the Court of Session decision that ruled the LEZ was lawful.Patons Accident Repair Centre in Townhead had argued the LEZ was unlawful and unnecessary because the council had already net air quality standards in the city centre.
“As the main source of this harmful pollutant is from road traffic, Glasgow's Low Emission Zone is an essential measure to improve air quality and help protect public "Glasgow's LEZ can also help accelerate the uptake of less polluting vehicles, encourage people to move away from private car use and increase the safety, attractiveness, and amenity of our city centre.”Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
