Plans to effectively exclude the most polluting vehicles from driving into city centre have been given the green light after Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was approved by Scottish Ministers.
Formally introduced today with a one-year grace period, Glasgow’s LEZ will be enforced from 1 June 2023 - affecting all vehicles entering the zone area, with a penalty charge payable if the required emission standards are not met.
Those living within the LEZ boundary have additional time to prepare, with the enforcement start date for vehicles registered to a residential address within the zone deferred until 1 June 2024.
