The city is set to consult on plans for a carbon-based parking permit charge, which would see drivers with polluting vehicles pay up to £600 for a permit, while those with clean energy vehicles pay less.

Glasgow residents driving high polluting cars are set to pay more for parking permits - while motorists with 'greener' vehicles could pay less.

The council said the move forms part of a drive to increase the use of cleaner, low emission vehicles across the city. “The possible introduction of carbon-based parking permits was originally put forward in Glasgow’s Transport Strategy as a way to support a shift to more sustainable forms of transport.
