Air Pollution In Inverness: How Vehicle Scrappage Could Help

Unfortunately, Inverness has gained a reputation for its poor air quality. In 2019, Inverness’ Academy Street ranked as one of the most polluted streets in Scotland. On top of this, failed campaigns to provide affordable, eco-friendly forms of public transport have caused illegal pollution levels to rise across the city.

Residents have had to resort to driving high emission vehicles around Inverness, however the proposed ban on petrol and diesel cars could change this.

To tackle air pollution levels on a nationwide scale, the UK government are planning to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

In addition to this, low emission and clean air zones have been established to encourage more people to use cleaner methods of transport on major roads.

These changes could impact the way people travel in Inverness and at Scrap Local we’re already receiving enquiries from motorists looking to scrap their vehicles for emission-related reasons.

Fortunately, we work with Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) who dispose of vehicles safely across Scotland.

Make Inverness’ air cleaner by scrapping your old set of wheels with Scrap Local’s trusted agents!
