Aberdeen Clean Air Zone ticket issued too early
Aberdeen's Low Emission Zone (a zone that bans older, more polluting vehicles from certain roads) only began enforcement on 1 June 2024. Any penalty charge notice trying to punish a breach before that date cannot legally be enforced.
Legal basis
LEZ (Scotland) Regulations 2021; Aberdeen City Council LEZ Scheme Order, commencement 1 June 2024
How to identify this in your case
Aberdeen LEZ PCN with contravention date before 1 June 2024.
