found out earlier today that now I have an EV, I can use the pick up and drop off at Glasgow airport for free for the first 10 mins ... 🙂
Handy as junior flies in and out fairly regularly with work and it's costing me a heap ! Was £48 at Edinburgh 2 weeks ago as he got held up in security and couldn't phone us as he had a Japan SIM in it and we had his UK SIM..
I’m not sure air quality is a major factor in the difference in life expectancy in many places.
bold measures to tackle air pollution are still needed as 4,000 Londoners died due to the impacts of toxic air in 2019...City Hall research shows that those exposed to the worst air pollution are more likely to be deprived Londoners and from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities...

Doesn’t seem to extend along Dumbarton rd.
The real bugbear here is simply people parking parking along this busy road.
Youve got:
a) residents.
b) shopowners who could just as easily walk or cycle to work.
c) shopowners who leave their vans parked outside their shop.
Couldnt they just leave the van behind and have the cash&carry deliver the stuff?
There have been a number of cycling fatalities as people swerve past these vehicles.
And it just infuriates bus drivers as they have to swing around these needlessly parked vehicles.
Bit if a tangent😩😭😭
"
Sadiq Khan’s deputy urged scientists to alter a Lancet study that showed London’s low emissions zone made no difference to children’s health.
Emails seen by The Telegraph show that Shirley Rodrigues, London’s deputy mayor, asked if Professor Chris Griffiths, of Queen Mary University of London, could “reword” the study’s conclusion that found “no evidence” of health benefits to children’s lungs.
Ms Rodrigues complained: “It reads like Lez (low emissions zones) or similar have no impact at all.”
In the private exchange from November 2018, Prof Griffiths refused the request, replying to Ms Rodrigues: “Apologies - it’s difficult to alter the sentence you refer to as it’s what we set out to look for but didn’t find.”"
@irc did you read the full thing or just the headline?
Fully agree uLEZ is far more ambitious in its predicted impacts. Be reassured will be emphasising this positive, as well as the positive impact the LEZ itself had on AQ.
Apologies - its difficult to alter the sentence you refer to as its what we set out to look for but didn't find, plus the PR is out. The positive spin on this is that impacts uLEZ will have on air quality and health, which we will emphasise
The exchanges were relating to the LEZ, not the later ULEZ.
