Council will oppose congestion charges

East Renfrewshire Council has unanimously opposed Glasgow’s plans to introduce a congestion charge for vehicles entering the city.
East Renfrewshire Council has unanimously opposed Glasgow’s plans to introduce a congestion charge for vehicles entering the city.
Councillors backed a Conservative motion - which stated residents and businesses in East Renfrewshire would be at risk of being unfairly penalised if the charge was rolled out - on Wednesday night.
Motorists who travel into Glasgow for work, education or hospital appointments could face extra costs under the proposal.
The city council has been considering a number of charging options for road users as part of efforts to reduce car use and increase revenue.
As a result of these plans, Councillor Gordon Wallace (Conservative) brought his motion to a full East Renfrewshire Council meeting.
