Marine pollution is a separate issue that also needs to be addressed. And it will be in time

[@paulwatt5078]

Here in Aberdeen we are a harbour city, a harbour which is full of massive offshore supply ships running 24/7 on marine diesel! The roads that skirt the edge of the harbour are a major route connecting the north and south of the city. They’ve put this route inside the LEZ, forcing older vehicles onto longer routes which increases traffic and pollution in those areas and fuel consumption to the user. Add this to the crazy bus gates and it really is a sh*tshow. We have a woefully inadequate public transport system which is also one of, if not the most expensive in the whole of the UK. Aberdeen city centre (like many other cities) is suffering badly and this is another nail in the coffin. People are refusing to shop there, as their perception (whether right or wrong) is that it’s just too difficult to get around, and are heading to places out of town. Businesses are genuinely worried about the effect of this, with local and national government doing whatever they want without listening to anyone and damn the consequences. RIP Aberdeen 😢

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Light aircraft traffic is a tiny fraction of car traffic. Not that it matters. The moment you start saying “x is not fair what about y?” they’ve won. Get rid of those unelected tossers in power who make shit up to make money and power.

[@Tricia3499]

Precisely! Aluminium, Barium, Lithium, Cadmium & Strontium.

[@deltadom33]

Stopping cars, stops businesses, shops close and people end up unemployed

[@DaRaccoonCrypto]

Just keep driving in don't let them stop you! Just don't pay! Freedom!!!!!

[@The32johnny]

Nobody wants to live in Scotland so why make people want to leave even more !!!

[@ariescustom]

Scotland > England. Facts.

[@MrDavil43]

I expect the car parks at Council offices to be converted into mini-forests with native tree species. All the Councillors and staff can walk or cycle in from wherever they live. Any chance of that happening?

[@BusbyTreeSurgery]

if my local council orifice is anything to go by most of the bludgers are still working from home. i mean at home getting paid they never worked.

[@SmallWonda]

Well, I don't suppose it was really on the cards, but I shan't be wasting my time going back to Scotland any time soon - I can carry on living without Dundee Marmalade...

[@ChandlerBinge]

Gives them a good excuse not to fix their shitey roads 😂

[@S.ASmith]

I used to live in Aberdeen, back when they still had an all diesel bus fleet (about 10-11 years ago). Pollution was never a problem. I used to go to martial arts sessions and walk to college and work through the city centre, including union square, union street, gallowgate (which is now blooming pedestrianised) and rosemount etc (if you know the area you'll know the roads im talking about). I was never short of breath, coughing, or even complaining about fumes and the like. It's only a problem if you stood right in front of a bus's exhaust vent, which is a stupid thing to do anyway. Pollution was never a topic of conversation or a problem, even for students or left leaning types in the city. I have friends who have questioned selling perfectly running Euro 5 or older diesel vehicles as they need them to get about because of the CAZ coming into force soon. You can't even pay a toll, it's just a straight up ban. If I have deliveries for the offshore marine survey or oil and gas sector, it means i have to divert 20 miles around on the new Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) to go from say, Hareness Road near the Shell HQ, to the industrial estate near the docks, or the dock entry (some of which is actually in this new zone). You can't use the A road going through the city centre any more in a Euro 5 diesel vehicle, even if this means you're not driving down Union Street. OH YEA! They've included a load of residential areas in this area too, which never saw much traffic, even during rush hour periods. Absolute scam. THANKS SN-PEE.

[@user-ld8ir6ff3q]

Who gave the politicians the mandate to cripple the lowest paid in society. The role of government is to enhance the life of all residents not destroy them.

[@kawapilot]

The SNP distanced themselves from the Greens power share because of nonsense like this.

[@TheInfoworks]

How can you believe anything in the sun, a comic not a newspaper

[@magnus3833]

It's not the air quality. Its about that the environment of rich people shouldn't be polluted by poor people!

[@gavinmcinally8442]

Glasgow just collected £3.5 million , they all want some of that.

[@Steven-jn2cw]

Hi Mate, I'm in Scotland and not only are they introducing these ridiculous Low Emissions Zones, but they are also planning to introduce 20mph speed limits everywhere. We didn't ask for any of this.

[@user-jb7uz4hs2i]

It certainly has nothing to do with creating cleaner air, it is all about lining pockets!

[@Enl1thened1]

Just refuse to pay, nothing they can do!

[@gsfdriller]

There's plenty they can do. Try not to spread false hope.

[@justeatingbigmacs]

sad days are ahead, for those who like to go to football games, fishing, track days, going to a railway heritage places, these will go under because we can’t get to them

[@DracFury]

It's just all about getting those who are Greedy and Rich... Even Richer!.... How are people not revolting to this. The LTNs, The LEZ, The 20mph zones... All part of the big NOT so secret plans to get you on that rusty bicycle.... Absolutely Insane. When will this end!

[@s9enny]

No different to London And they just voted for it again . Fool me once shame on you fool me twice SHAME ON ME .

[@Chris-tz9ct]

I've got a Landy and am outside Dundee . LEZ is only affecting the city centre just now but I bet after a few weeks it will be deemed such a success it will be spread out to the suburbs . Not related , but on top of that I have a few chickens and the Scottish government depsite announcing we are bird flu free, are rolling out registration of every chicken in the land to combat bird flu . Failure to do so is either £5000 fine or 6 months jail time . The 1000s of wild birds I had in the garden this morning are clearly no cause for concern . Scotland is becoming a dictator state .

[@Cainb420]

Look how well this has went in England, their dreaming if they think we are putting up with their shite

[@thepuddlejumper500]

That’s the plan to get cars off the roads. In Edinburgh the pollution level was 6 and the level at which air is deemed clean is 20 so there’s no requirement for LEZ.

[@GrahamBailey-be9wr]

The last time we had Zero Emission, no one was here to see 😢

[@stephenkelly4346]

The road to zero car ownership. It stops when we say it stops. Problem is there zero resistance.

[@lynne2774]

You forgot the building blocks of 15 minute cities that is the 5 min neighbourhoods! I wish I was making that up for fun. Wikipedia explains the 5 min neighbourhoods are part of the whole horrible plan.

[@stephensalt6787]

And Keir Starmers mug will read “ my goal is to create more huge inconvenience and ever greater cost to the taxpayers than that Sunak bloke”.

[@seanmaguire380]

LEZ has been in place since last June in Glasgow. Don't pay the fines, they don't have resources to enforce them.

[@lezbarker2673]

I got this and thought you had messaged me Geoff I was so exited 😜 you have said my name twice in live videos you once thanked me because it was Tuesday in England and you’d said it was Wednesday and you felt a bit down but then you saw my message and said oh yeah thank you Lez it’s Wednesday in Australia. I love your work and I’m looking forward to you and Lee.

[@TakeItFromMe.]

Nah..they'll never take our FREEDOMMM! SEE ULEZ JIMMY!

[@nanookmoose]

I changed from petrol to diesel years ago and the car tax went down because it was better for the environment. They need to make their minds up

[@Philip---pip267]

I changed from petrol to electric in 2020 hoping for a massive reduction in expenditure. Now look at electric, there is negativity towards the use of batteries and higher insurance. Free road tax also ends next year. We are all being sold down the river in Britain 2024 time and time again. Get cycling as the prime mode of transport and you can bet we would pay for tax on the air we expel from our lungs. Go faster and it costs more. All that aroma of your last meal going into the atmosphere....heaven forbid. Then again, Britain itelf is a total joke.

[@TheFlyingScotsman]

People should stop paying business rates there.

[@rolandbraithwaite7960]

People and truckers should stop going into these cities. It looks like you get what you have voted for "Who voted these people in ?" can not blame the English for this stay green :={

[@toiletrollholder]

If you stop going in then the businesses go broke. This is a secondary intention of this policy. If people had just carried on driving around and NOONE had paid the fines the policy, including ULEZ, would have failed.

[@stitchlover633]

world economic forum rules

[@garymc3519]

For anyone who has been to Edinburgh, its a city that was never built for cars and its always been easier to travel through or visit the centre of the city by bus. Max daily fare for as much as you can travel £4.80

[@fuhqsideways]

I've been into Glasgow from two directions and you don't get told you're in the ULEZ until you're in it. No warnings it's coming up and alternative route suggested. Just boom...you're in it and now you might have to pay us!

[@alexwallace5486]

They are trying to force people off the road because they can't afford to upgrade their cars. It's a disgrace and worse the money isn't even being spent on the disgraceful roads. I do not see the sense in putting ULEZ in place when there are three motorways tgat converge and run through the city (Glasgow) absolute madness.
