          <p>Despite improvements in air quality since the introduction of the Dundee City Council Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) in 2011, there remain locations in the city where the Scottish Air Quality Objective (AQO) for annual mean nitrogen
            dioxide (NO2) levels (40ug/m3) are not being met. While the number of exceedances of the NO2 annual mean objective has decreased significantly in the past 10 years, the LEZ is to be introduced in the city to further accelerate Dundee’s
            required compliance with the objective levels. The LEZ is also being introduced to contribute to the Council meeting greenhouse emissions reductions targets as outlined within the Dundee Climate Action Plan published in 2019, and to help
            promote the city as an inclusive and desirable place to live, invest, visit and learn.</p>

              functions of the Scottish Ambulance Service Board, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Her Majesty's Coastguard or the National Crime Agency.</li>
            <li><strong>Naval, military or air force vehicles</strong> - Vehicles being used for naval, military or air force purposes.&nbsp;</li>
            <li><strong>Historic vehicles</strong> - The vehicle was manufactured or registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 for the first time at least 30 years ago; the vehicle is no longer in production; and the vehicle has
              been historically preserved or maintained in its original state and has not undergone substantial changes in the technical characteristics of its main components.&nbsp;</li>
            <li><strong>Vehicles for disabled persons</strong> - The vehicle is being driven by any person who is in receipt of a badge (<strong>a blue badge</strong>) that has been issued under Section 21(2) of the Chronically Sick and Disabled
              Persons Act 1970, a passenger in the vehicle has been issued with a badge under that Section of that Act; or a badge for the vehicle has been issued under Section 21(4) of that Act; or a reduction in annual rate of vehicle excise duty
              applies because the vehicle is being used by a disabled person in receipt of personal independence payment at the standard rate; or vehicles registered with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class e.g. the vehicle is
              exempt from payment of vehicle excise duty under paragraph 19(1) or 20(1) of schedule 2 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (exemptions from excise duty for vehicles used by disabled persons). Note: blue badges are assigned
              to a person, not a vehicle, so a blue badge holder could travel in any vehicle and the rules of the blue badge would be applied to that vehicle on that day of travel.&nbsp;</li>
            <li><strong>Showman vehicles </strong>- Vehicles described as either “showman’s goods vehicle” or “showman’s vehicle” according to Section 62(1) of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. Note: these are highly specialised vehicles

Information on The Dundee Low Emission Zone Scheme

Show LEZ Map

Show What is a Low Emission Zone

A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is an area where only certain vehicles are allowed to
enter based on their emissions standards. LEZs reduce pollution levels and
improve air quality by stopping the most polluting vehicles entering a specific
area.

Show Why is Dundee City Council introducing a LEZ Scheme?

Despite improvements in air quality since the introduction of the Dundee City
Council Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) in 2011, there remain locations in the
city where the Scottish Air Quality Objective (AQO) for annual mean nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) levels (40ug/m3) are not being met. While the number of
exceedances of the NO2 annual mean objective has decreased significantly in the
past 10 years, the LEZ is to be introduced in the city to further accelerate
Dundee’s required compliance with the objective levels. The LEZ is also being
introduced to contribute to the Council meeting greenhouse emissions reductions
targets as outlined within the Dundee Climate Action Plan published in 2019, and
to help promote the city as an inclusive and desirable place to live, invest,
visit and learn.

Show What area is included in the Dundee LEZ Scheme?

The Dundee LEZ Scheme includes an area within the A991 Inner Ring Road,
excluding the Bell Street, West Marketgait NCP and Wellgate car parks as outline
on the map below.

Enhanced mapping of LEZs in Scotland can be found on the Traffic Scotland
website at www.traffic.gov.scot (link is external) . To view the Dundee LEZ (and
also the Aberdeen, Edinburgh & Glasgow LEZ) areas on the Traffic Scotland
mapping system you should select ‘map filters’ (if not automatically opened) and
then ‘Road facilities’ which is in the ‘Live traffic info’ tab. Under Road
facilities you will find ‘Low Emission Zones’, and you will need to tick that
box. The four Scottish LEZs will then be available on the map and you can scroll
in / out to view their locations within each of the cities.

This map can also be downloaded here (1.7MB PDF).

The roads (or parts of roads) which form part of the LEZ are as follows (unless
otherwise stated, the full length of the road is within the proposed LEZ scheme
area):
Allan Lane, Albert Square, Argyllgait, Bank Street, Barrack Street, Bell Street
(between Victoria Road and Constitution Road), Cameron's Close, Candle Lane,
Castle Street, Chapel Street, Commercial Court, Commercial Street, Constitution
Road (between North Marketgait and Ward Road/Meadowside junction), Courthouse
Square, Couttie's Wynd, Cowgate, Crichton Street, Dock Street (between Whitehall
Crescent and Commercial Street/A991 junction), Euclid Crescent, Euclid Street,
Exchange Court, Exchange Street, Forester Street, Gellatly Street, High Street,
Irvine's Square, Johnston Street, King Street (between St. Andrew's Street and
North Marketgait), Malthouse Close, Mary Ann Lane, Meadow Entry, Meadowside
(between Meadow Lane and Constitution Road), Murraygate, Nethergate (between
West Marketgait and Crichton Street), Nicholl Street, North Lindsay Street,
Panmure Street, Peter Street, Pullar's Close, Queen Street, Rattray Street,
Reform Street, Royal Exchange Lane, Seagate (between Commercial Street and East
Marketgait), Shore Terrace, Soapwork Lane, South Ward Road, St Andrew's Lane, St
Andrew's Street, Sugarhouse Wynd, Trades Lane, Union Street, Ward Road, West
Bell Street, Whitehall Crescent, Whitehall Street, Willison Street, Yeaman Shore

Show When will the Dundee LEZ Scheme start?

The Dundee LEZ Scheme was introduced on 30th May 2022. There is a grace period
of two years from that date when enforcement of the scheme will not take place.
This applies to both residents and non-residents of the LEZ area and for all
non-exempt vehicle types, and means enforcement will start on 30th May 2024.

Show When will the Dundee LEZ Scheme operate?

The Dundee LEZ Scheme will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year.

The Dundee LEZ scheme may be suspended for the duration of events of local or
national significance, and also in emergency situations, such as an accident on
the wider road network that requires all vehicles to be temporarily diverted
through the LEZ area (but only where vehicles follow prescribed diversionary
routes).

Show What vehicles will be affected by the Dundee LEZ Scheme?

Only vehicles that do not meet the minimum criteria set in the national Low
Emission Zones (Emission Standards, Exemptions and Enforcement) (Scotland)
Regulations 2021 will be affected.

The minimum criteria are:

•    Euro 4 for petrol cars and vans (generally vehicles registered from 2006
onwards)
•    Euro 6 for diesel cars and vans (generally vehicles registered from
September 2015 onwards)
•    Euro VI for buses, coaches and HGVs (generally vehicles registered from
January 2013 onwards)

Motorcycles and mopeds and those subject to a national exemption outlined in the
Low Emission Zones (Emission Standards, Exemptions and Enforcement) (Scotland)
Regulations 2021 will also not be affected by the LEZ Scheme.

Transport Scotland has developed a vehicle checker tool that is available on the
Low Emission Zones Scotland website.  (link is external)The vehicle checker will
allow you, by providing your vehicle registration number, to check if your
vehicle can or cannot drive within the Dundee and other Scottish LEZ's based on
whether it is considered compliant or non-compliant with the emission standards.
Note: the checker does not provide an exemption status and cannot check foreign
vehicles. 

For UK registered vehicles you may check your vehicle's emissions with the
Vehicle Certification Authority and with your manufacturer.

For non-UK registered vehicles your vehicle must be LEZ compliant to drive in
the LEZ. Please contact your national vehicle authorities to confirm compliance
status. 

Show What vehicles have ‘exemptions’?

The national exemptions include:

 * Emergency vehicles -The vehicle is being driven by any person who is:
   undertaking their duty as a constable; providing a response to an emergency
   at the request of the Scottish Ambulance Service Board; exercising the
   functions of the Scottish Ambulance Service Board, the Scottish Fire and
   Rescue Service, Her Majesty's Coastguard or the National Crime Agency.
 * Naval, military or air force vehicles - Vehicles being used for naval,
   military or air force purposes. 
 * Historic vehicles - The vehicle was manufactured or registered under the
   Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 for the first time at least 30 years
   ago; the vehicle is no longer in production; and the vehicle has been
   historically preserved or maintained in its original state and has not
   undergone substantial changes in the technical characteristics of its main
   components. 
 * Vehicles for disabled persons - The vehicle is being driven by any person who
   is in receipt of a badge (a blue badge) that has been issued under Section
   21(2) of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970, a passenger in
   the vehicle has been issued with a badge under that Section of that Act; or a
   badge for the vehicle has been issued under Section 21(4) of that Act; or a
   reduction in annual rate of vehicle excise duty applies because the vehicle
   is being used by a disabled person in receipt of personal independence
   payment at the standard rate; or vehicles registered with a 'disabled' or
   'disabled passenger vehicles' tax class e.g. the vehicle is exempt from
   payment of vehicle excise duty under paragraph 19(1) or 20(1) of schedule 2
   of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (exemptions from excise duty
   for vehicles used by disabled persons). Note: blue badges are assigned to a
   person, not a vehicle, so a blue badge holder could travel in any vehicle and
   the rules of the blue badge would be applied to that vehicle on that day of
   travel. 
 * Showman vehicles - Vehicles described as either “showman’s goods vehicle” or
   “showman’s vehicle” according to Section 62(1) of the Vehicle Excise and
   Registration Act 1994. Note: these are highly specialised vehicles used for
   the purposes of travelling showmen, where the vehicle is used during the
   performance, used for the purpose of providing the performance or used for
   carrying performance equipment.


Show Blue Badge holders exemption

Transport Scotland has developed an online scheme for Blue Badge holders to
register vehicles they are travelling in. Blue Badge holders who require
exemptions can now register their details with the new LEZ exemption system so
that the vehicle they are travelling in can access LEZs. If the journey is a
one-off or irregular visit to a LEZ, Blue Badge holders will be able to register
for a short-term exemption to cover their travel. The exemption applies to any
vehicle whether the Blue Badge holder is the driver or the passenger.

More information about the Blue Badge exemption scheme and how to register for
an exemption is available on the Low Emission Zones Scotland website (link is
external).

Show Local 'time-limited exemptions'

Dundee City Council is able to grant a ‘time-limited exemption’ of no more than
1 year to certain vehicles or vehicle types which would allow non-compliant
vehicles within such a group to continue to drive within the LEZ area without
penalty.  Should an applicant wish to renew their exemption for an additional
year, the application process must be repeated. Please note that it is not
possible within the legislation for time-limited exemptions to be granted for
private cars.

DCC may grant a ‘time-limited exemption’  in circumstances where it can be
clearly demonstrated by the applicant that the vehicle operator or group are
doing all they can to comply with the LEZ but may require longer time than the
agreed grace period. 

Applications for 'time-limited exemptions' can be made by completing this online
application form (link is external). This form is not to be used for national
exemptions such as 'blue-badge exemptions' or historic vehicles.

Show What will I be fined if I drive a ‘non-compliant’ vehicle in the LEZ?

Enforcement of the Dundee LEZ Scheme will not commence until 30th May 2024. The
initial penalty charge for driving a non-compliant vehicle on a road within the
LEZ area for all non-compliant vehicles is set at £60, reduced by 50% if it is
paid within 14 days. 

The penalty amount doubles with each subsequent breach of the rules detected in
the same LEZ. The penalty charges are capped at £480 for cars and light goods
vehicles and £960 for buses and HGVs. Where there are no further breaches of the
rules detected within the 90 days following a previous violation, the penalty is
reset to the base tier of charge i.e. £60.

The default penalty charges for LEZs have been set in Schedule 4 of the Low
Emission Zones (Emission Standards, Exemptions and Enforcement) (Scotland)
Regulations 2021 and therefore are consistent across all of Scotland. 

Show How will the LEZ be enforced?

Enforcement will be undertaken through the use of Automatic Number Plate
Recognition (ANPR) cameras. Please note that enforcement will not commence until
the grace periods end in 2024.

Show What support is available for households and businesses to meet the LEZ
scheme vehicle requirements?

Support funding is currently being made available by the Scottish Government
through the Energy Saving Trust for certain households and businesses. Details
can be found on the Low Emission Zones Scotland website (link is external) and
via the links to the Energy Saving Trust website provided below.

non-compliant vehicles with Clean Vehicle Retrofit Accreditation Scheme (CVRAS)
approved solutions that meet the minimum proposed standards of the low emission
zones.

Funding for the LEZ Retrofit Fund is expected to be allocated very quickly due
to very high demand and limited budget.

subject to the following terms and conditions:

 * Up to £5,000 per light commercial vehicle and wheelchair accessible taxi
   installing retrofit exhaust after-treatment systems.

 * Applicant business must be an active micro business or a sole trader. To fit
   this definition, businesses must:
   * Employ nine or fewer full-time employees.
   * Have a turnover of £632,000 or less, or a balance sheet of up to £316,000
     in the preceding and current financial year.
 * Applicant business must not have previously received funding or currently
   have an offer in place to retrofit a vehicle.
 * The chosen vehicle must have a CVRAS-approved retrofit solution.
