Edinburgh issues over 6,000 Low Emission Zone fines in a month

Edinburgh City Council handed out more than 6,000 fines to drivers who broke new low emission zone (LEZ) rules, new figures show.

Under the rules, drivers whose cars do not meet emission standards are fined £60 if they enter restricted parts of the city – and this doubles with each breach.

Over the first month, 5,756 first contravention fines were handed out, while a further 274 were given out to second offenders.

The rules officially started two years ago, but with a grace period, and fully came into force on 1 June.
