THE Low Emission Zone has not led to a fall in the number of taxis in Glasgow according to the transport minister.The minister was asked by Annie Wells, Glasgow Conservative MSP about a fall in the number of cabs in the city.Hyslop confirmed the reduction from 1390 taxis in Mary last year to 1347 in January this year.
Wells said hundreds of taxis are still non-compliant and risk going out of business when the exemption ends next month.She asked: “For the sake of Glasgow’s black taxi drivers, will she back the extension of the exemption for those taxis—not the 76 that are already exempt?” She said: “If the member was listening, she would have heard that that is exactly what Glasgow City Council is doing. It is offering a further exemption, should there be a demonstration that retrofitting is planned.”
Sweeney said: “The £10,000 grant is simply not sufficient, particularly when a lot of the affected taxi drivers are approaching retirement age or are in their 50s and cannot take out that huge amount of finance.”
