Glasgow City Council makes almost £500,000 from LEZ fines

Glasgow City Council collected £478,560 in fines from the Low Emission Zone between June and September, with over 20,000 fines issued since the LEZ's introduction on June 1.
Fines for non-compliant vehicles in the LEZ start at £60 but double for repeated offenses, and fines were reduced by 50% if paid within 14 days. The council plans to use the money earned from the LEZ to reduce air pollution and meet climate change targets.
The Court of Session in Edinburgh has ruled that the LEZ is lawful and appropriate after a legal challenge from a local business owner, William Paton. Similar pay structures will be implemented in other Low Emission Zones.
