LEZ will hit disabled people: MSP calls for rethink
The Low Emission Zone for Glasgow, due this summer, will have an impact on disabled people, an MSP has said.to delay the introduction of the LEZ scheme and to consider more exemptions.
Duncan-Glancy also said disabled people rely on taxis more than most and if fewer taxis are on the road as a result of the changes it will lead to people unable to get around the city.She said: “Disabled people constantly face challenges and barriers to their participation in society and the looming introduction of Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone will only add to that.
“It appears there has been a complete absence of thought around how the new restrictions will work for carers too, risking them being unfairly penalised for travelling through the city to provide care. “
