    Glasgow's LEZ
    Mar 1 2024

    The hot topic amongst Glasgow's taxi trade is currently the introduction of the LEZ and it's impact on the taxi trade with effect from 1 June 2024. Many taxi drivers will be forced out of business and the knock on effect will have an impact on Glasgow businesses, their customers and the desire of people to visit and socialise in our wonderful city. In this episode the design, planning & implementation of the zone are challenged. Is the grant funding available a good use of public money ?

    With economy of the Glasgow facing huge challenges, and eyebrows being raised about the cleanliness and condition of the city, is the LEZ one of a number of virtue signalling projects displaying poor use of the public purse. Busy tonight listener !

    With no connection to either darts or football, Treble Tops explores the top three hot topics in the taxi trade presently. Making card payments in taxis seems like an obvious choice, but is it ? Do you know who will accept card payments and who will run a mile ? Next up is the night time problem of overcharging, don't let Dick Turpin catch you out. Finally we discuss our beautiful dear green place, the city of Glasgow. How is the city, we are all so proud of, looking at the moment. Is it looking its best or in desperate need of some TLC? Busy tonight listener?
