Question
To ask the Scottish Government what data it has on Low Emission Zones in Scotland’s cities regarding vehicles that have been recorded entering zones, that are not currently operational, that would be issued with penalties once zones are fully operational in the coming years.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold any data on vehicles that have been recorded entering the Low Emission Zones declared in May 2022.
Local Authorities in the LEZ cities are responsible for data gathering.
As the ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras have not yet been installed in the LEZ cities, data on vehicles recorded entering these zones is not yet available.
