Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many fines for vehicle idling have been (a) issued and (b) paid in each year since 2016, also broken down by local authority.


Answer

This information is not held centrally and is a matter for individual local authorities. Guidance issued by the Scottish Government to assist authorities in undertaking vehicle idling enforcement duties encourages the issuing of fixed penalties only if a reasonable request to switch off a parked idling vehicle is refused.
