It is all in the name of cutting down pollution in our capital city. London is a filthy city due to vehicle pollution, as you may well know.
Glasgow is also making plans. The most polluting buses will be banned from Glasgow city centre if plans to introduce a so-called low emission zone in the city are given the go ahead. Councillors will put forward a proposal next week to ban all but the cleanest buses by the end of next year. It follows claims that poor air quality leads to the deaths of about 300 Glaswegians each year. Only a fraction of the number that succumb to alcohol poisoning! Bring on the "Buckfast".
