Stephen asks - does Glasgow's new low emmission zones go far enough?

As Glasgow's low emission zone comes into force, banning many older vehicles from the city centre Stephen asks - does it go far enough?

PHONE-IN 
Glasgow's low emission zone (LEZ) has come into force, banning many older vehicles from the centre of Scotland's biggest city. Drivers of vehicles which do not meet emissions standards face fines mounting to hundreds of pounds per day. A last-ditch legal challenge to the scheme was thrown out by a Court of Session judge on Wednesday. Glasgow City Council's climate and transport convenor said the LEZ would ensure "cleaner, more breathable air". The zone is bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, the River Clyde to the south, and the Saltmarket/High Street to the east.
