'If nothing changes, there’s certainly not a future here'
A beloved family-run cafe in Townhead is at risk of closing after facing major losses 'due to the second phase of the Low Emission Zone '.
Mr Rodden said:"I knew the area and thought it was good at the time, a bustling place with businesses. I thought it would do well."as they picked up supplies from local businesses before heading out to jobs. “They come and get their materials and nip round to the café before they go out to their jobs and we have none of that now.Firms in the area have resorted to running materials out of the LEZ boundary to their customers, which is less than 500 metres away.The impact of the pandemic followed by the cost of living crisis has had a devastating impact on the business already but the LEZ could be the nail in the coffin, Mr Rodden says.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “We are aware that various economic factors at national and global levels mean this is a challenging time for businesses.and so the LEZ is an essential measure if Glasgow is to tackle the harmful air pollution that has dogged parts of the city centre for decades.
