'The scheme went from shameful to farcical as this paper revealed drivers were escaping fines on the first day of enforcement.' | CllrTKerr writes✍️
For those in the back who maybe haven’t heard or those who are trying to be disingenuous about the Glasgow Conservatives stance, we are not opposed to the principles of Low Emission Zones.
I want Low Emission Zones to work. As the father of my new baby boy Joshua, I want to be able to tell him that I played a role as a Glasgow councillor in tackling the climate emergency facing our city. Not once did they appear to care or heed the warnings from our taxi trade and Unite the Union who have talked about 1,000 taxi drivers being forced off the road. That would not only be devastating for them in a cost-of-living crisis, but also deeply damage our struggling city centre businesses and put at risk the safety of countless women like my fiancée Shannon as they aim to get home after nights out.
He knew fine well the U-turn was not public. His focus would be better spent on challenging his colleagues on why they opposed it in the first place and why despite the reprieve, the charity was forced to fundraise £15,000 for a new vehicle instead of using that to feed our vulnerable.
