On the phone-in John Beattie asks, What do you make of LEZs? Also on the show, Paralympian Richard Whitehead on Paris 2024, midges and how to sell your house on social media.

PHONE-IN
Glasgow City Council made more than Β£1m from its city centre Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in just over 10 months, according to newly-released figures. The LEZ began on 1 June last year and by 13 April the council had received Β£1,010,585 in penalty charge payments from people driving non-compliant vehicles into the restricted zone. Soon, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee will launch their city centre LEZ joining Glasgow whose zone has already been operating for a year. The schemes aim to cut emissions and pollution in the city centre by stopping some vehicles from entering. Edinburgh and Aberdeen's LEZ schemes will go live from 1 June - exactly one year after Glasgow. The Dundee LEZ will start slightly earlier on 30 May.

John asks - what do you make of LEZs?
