I expect the Edinburgh City Low Emission Zone is part one in what is really a longer term plan to expand the geographic scope of the zone and the stringency of the requirements.

Do you know how it interacts with proposals for an Edinburgh centre congestion zone for non-Edinburgh residents' cars?

Given the relationship between the council and Lothian buses and given the investment by Lothian buses in newer buses I also wonder if this is an attempt at manipulating the transport market in the wider Edinburgh economic area in favour of Lothian Buses.

I do think that "letting polluting vehicles into the places we live" will be something our grandchildren will be aghast at.

I don't see a conflict with congestion zones. I guess we'll see how it plays out.
