The expansion of Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) next June could have a “devastating” impact on the city's taxi trade, it has been claimed.
Glasgow's LEZ, implemented by the city council, will operate 24 hours a day - all year round in a bid to tackle “stubbornly high” levels of air pollution.
It will affect 226 streets throughout the city centre bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, the River Clyde to the South including Argyle Street, Bath Street, Broomielaw, Buchanan Street, Candleriggs, Duke Street, George Square, High Street, Jamaica Street, Mitchell Lane, New Wynd, Osborne Street, Queen Street, St Enoch Square, Sauchiehall Street, Saltmarket and the Trongate.
