Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen have implemented Low Emission Zones to tackle vehicle emissions. Non-compliant vehicles can face fines ranging from £60 to £480 for cars, and up to £980 for buses and coaches.
These charges aim to encourage cleaner transportation options and reduce air pollution in these cities.
Starting from June 1, local councils have been granted the authority to conduct e-scooter trials by issuing New Vehicle Special Orders.
This allows them to temporarily suspend current restrictions on e-scooters and explore their potential as a mode of transportation. The trials aim to assess the feasibility and impact of e-scooters in urban areas, potentially leading to their integration into the transport network.
In a bid to ensure fair fuel prices for consumers, the Competition and Markets Authority now possesses enhanced powers to investigate fuel prices.
This move has the potential to result in lower petrol and diesel costs at the pumps. By monitoring and scrutinizing fuel pricing practices, the authority aims to promote competition and prevent any unfair practices that may lead to inflated fuel prices, benefiting consumers in the long run.
