Motorhomes below Euro 6 are banned from entering Glasgow City Centre. The terrible attitude comes from the City Council and their cronies who allow polluting Fairground Lorries, Motorbikes, Two Strokes and Classic Cars, and also permit the use of woodstoves [which produce a minimum of 400 times the pollution that traffic produces], which produce carcinogenic particularates every time the stove is opened. And Devi Sridhar, Chair of Public Health at Edinburgh University, wrote yesterday about pollution affecting our health, but referred only to 'vehicle pollution', so you think Edinburgh will be any more tolerant?
The basis of many LEZ Schemes deciding whether a vehicle is compliant and/or chargeable is the inaccurate DVLA Database where there was no consistent guidance provided on vehicle registration data, especially amongst the Vehicle Converters, the then Government deciding that it would cause too much red tape for small businesses to have to have M/Homes/Campervans tested and registered, when there was no real need/use for the data. Consequently, using examples from another Forum for the London ULEZ, one 2014 Euro 5 M/Home is compliant and exempt from the 312.50 charge; another, same model, but on a 2015 Model [with virtually no emissions/engine data recorded on the V5] is liable for the £12.50 charge, despite the owner of the latter posting details of the MOT Test emissions ticket.
My V5 is a Euro 5 engine that records only the engine size [wrongly at 2300cc] and no other details, thanks to sloppy Dealership paperwork and lack of DVLA Regs So I am banned from entering Glasgow, would have to pay to enter London, or I can go to France, with my 'less than £5 Crit' Air 2' Sticker, and Spain, which accepts French Crit'Air Stickers for compliance] and spend my money with their respective Tourism Industries. Perfectly logical reaction to a system that is flawed and based on poor data, incomplete historical data collection, and a lot of vested interests
