A petition has been launched in an attempt to stop the new Low Emission Zone (LEZ) scheme as its set to come into force from June 1.
As part of the initiative, all vehicles entering the zone (LEZ) area will need to meet less-polluting emissions standards or face a £60 penalty charge which can double for repeated entries - up to a maximum of £480 for cars and £960 for buses and HGVs.
The LEZ will affect the city centre with signs already in place advising drivers when they are entering. Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras will be used to monitor vehicles driving into Glasgow’s LEZ which will be in operation 24/7.
