Plans submitted for new car park near Glasgow Airport
If approved, the layout would consist of rows of bays arranged to the east and west of a 'central spine' road with each parking aisle having a dead end.
A small portable unit with amenities for customers and an office for staff would be located to the western edge, immediately to the south of the access.
Explaining how the car park would operate, a planning statement said: 'The facility primarily serves pre-booked customers but walk-in customers without prior bookings can be manually granted access through on-site creation of a 'walk-in booking'.

'Automated electric barriers will be incorporated to the internal access road, meaning vehicles will only be permitted entry to the car park with a prior booking.
'On arrival, ANPR [automatic number plate recognition] validates the booking and a welcome message is displayed on external display screens.
'As a secondary access control measure, customers will be able to scan a barcode at the barrier console.
'This will prevent delays occurring in the event of technical issues with the ANPR camera equipment and gives customers flexibility in the event that their vehicle registration details may have changed since their booking was made.
'Customers are directed to park in any empty bay and then drop their keys into the automated key drop locker.
'Upon returning to the site, customers scan their unique QR code at the automated key return locker. The locker dispenses the car key and provides the vehicle's bay location.
'Customers must exit the site within a defined period to ensure vehicles cannot re-enter without a new booking.'
The perimeter would be equipped with CCTV surveillance, lighting and security fencing to 'further ensure safety and visibility' within the car park.
The statement added: 'The operation will provide two parking services: 'park and stroll' and 'meet and greet'.
'The former allows customers to park on site and walk 7-8 minutes to the airport terminal.
'The 'meet and greet' option allows customers to check in, drop off their car which is then driven by a member of staff to an off-site location at West Avenue, Linwood and a circa 5-10 minute drive away.
'Vehicles are returned to the main site for customer pick-up on the day of their return.'
The statement claimed the plans would create 'direct and indirect jobs' and support the future growth of the airport.
A decision on the application, which is expected to be made by council officers, will be confirmed at a later date.

62 Lakh Vehicles Won't Get Petrol, Diesel In Delhi From Today
New Delhi: Don't be surprised if you see posters stating "Fuel will not be dispensed to 'end of life' vehicles" at fuel stations in Delhi starting today. In its effort to curb air pollution, the Delhi government has enforced a fuel ban for 'end-of-life' or overage vehicles, that is, petrol vehicles aged 15 years or older and diesel vehicles aged 10 years or older. Vehicles are the top polluters in the national capital Delhi, accounting for more than half (51 per cent) of the pollution from all local emission sources, according to an analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), released in November 2024. Keeping this in mind, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) issued Statutory Direction No 89, enforcing stringent measures against end-of-life vehicles of all types (goods carrier, commercial, vintage, two-wheelers) across the NCR. This move will affect around 62 lakh vehicles (61,14,728) in Delhi alone. There are 27.5 lakh overaged vehicles (as of March 2025) in Haryana, 12.69 lakh in Uttar Pradesh and 6.2 lakh in Rajasthan. How Would The Ban Be Implemented The Transport Department has chalked out a deployment plan, involving Delhi Police, Traffic Police and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) personnel at fuel stations reporting a high volume of visitors with overaged vehicles. Delhi Police personnel will be deployed in fuel stations numbered 1 to 100, while the Transport Department will mobilise 59 exclusive teams across fuel stations numbered 101 to 159. One traffic police officer will be stationed at each of the 350 identified petrol pumps to monitor and prevent the refuelling of old vehicles. Two additional police personnel will be deployed at each petrol pump to maintain law and order during the enforcement drive. End-of-life vehicles will be identified by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, which have been installed at 498 fuel stations. The cameras, integrated with the VAHAN database, will cross-verify number plates and alert the fuel station operator. This vehicle will also be shared with enforcement agencies for impounding and scrapping of old vehicles. On-Ground Concerns And Reality Nischal Singhania, a Delhi petrol dealer, believes that a trial run should have been conducted before implementing a big scheme like this. "How long would the enforcement team stay? 30 days, 60 days, 90 days? How do we handle the situation after that? There is also a fear of missing a vehicle, as we would be penalised. This scheme should be rolled out simultaneously across NCR." Mohit, a commuter, shared similar thoughts and suggested a trial run lasting 15 to 30 days. "It could be an issue for people who are not aware of this move. A week-long trial would have helped. Nothing has been done to create awareness among people, especially those who are uneducated. Those transiting through Delhi will be badly affected." NDTV visited one of the fuel stations in Delhi's Green Park, where the staff claimed they had not been trained on how to implement the move and deny fuel to violators. "There are many old vehicles that are well-maintained and may not be harmful to the environment. What about those? There should be a proper check in place, otherwise it will burn a hole in people's pockets. Also, all drivers should have a valid PUCC (Pollution Under Control Certificate)," said a two-wheeler rider.

Petrol, diesel ban on old vehicles in Delhi starts today, 350 booths under watch
Diesel vehicles over 10 years old and petrol vehicles over 15 will not be allowed to refuel in Delhi starting today. A total of 350 petrol stations have been identified for policy enforcement and potential vehicle move was initiated by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), in collaboration with the Transport Department, Delhi Police, and traffic personnel, in a bid to curb air pollution in the national Delhi Transport Department, together with the Delhi Police and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), has crafted a detailed plan to ensure this directive is first 100 petrol stations with the most EoL vehicles will be monitored by Delhi police teams, while officials from the Transport Department will manage 59 stations. Additionally, 91 particularly sensitive stations will be supervised by joint teams from both departments, and MCD employees will oversee the last 100. This strategy ensures vigilant oversight across all stations to deter any rule violations. These enforcement squads possess the authority to seize vehicles or issue fines to owners of non-compliant EoL vehicles. Legally reinforced by the Supreme Court's 2018 decision, the initiative supports the 2014 National Green Tribunal's ruling that prohibits parking vehicles older than 15 years in public spaces. advertisementBacking these actions, the Delhi government has outlined Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), compelling petrol stations to log each refused fuel transaction. Additionally, stations must display notices stating, "Fuel will not be dispensed to End of Life Vehicles — i.e. 15 years old Petrol and CNG and 10 years old Diesel 01.07.2025." These signs will act as clear reminders to vehicle owners about the imposed with CAQM rules is mandatory for fuel stations, which are also required to train their personnel accordingly. Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems will be in operation to ensure adherence to the policy, with the Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC) maintaining the systems' efficacy. These tech-based measures are vital for real-time compliance to findings from the VAHAAN database, it is noted that Delhi is home to approximately 62 lakh EoL vehicles, comprising 41 lakh two-wheelers and 18 lakh four-wheelers. The surrounding NCR districts in Haryana, UP, and Rajasthan add another 46 lakh EoL vehicles to the tally. This data underscores the extensive scale of the issue within the stations that breach these directives will incur penalties under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Reports detailing non-compliance are to be submitted weekly to both the CAQM and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas for further proceedings. This accountability framework ensures strict adherence to the rules.- Ends

No fuel for end-of-life vehicles in Delhi from today
Jul 01, 2025 07:35 AM IST In a major step to curb the vehicular pollution, petrol pumps across Delhi will not provide fuel to end of life vehicles (EoL) starting Tuesday, July 1. This is according to the directions of Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), with the Transport Department along with the Delhi Police and traffic personnel. One traffic police officer will be stationed at each of the 350 identified petrol pumps to monitor and prevent the refueling of such vehicles.(Reuters/Representational Image) A detailed deployment plan has been chalked out by the transport department involving its personnel from the organisation along with Delhi Police, Traffic Police and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Vehicles that have exceeded the life span of 10 years for diesel vehicles and 15 years for petrol vehicles will not be fueled. One traffic police officer will be stationed at each of the 350 identified petrol pumps to monitor and prevent the refueling of such vehicles. While MCD teams will be deployed at the fuel stations, Delhi police will also be there. Delhi Police personnel will be deployed in fuel stations numbered 1 to 100 while the Transport Department will mobilise 59 exclusive teams across fuel stations numbered 101 to 159. The traffic personnel will have the power to impound the vehicles or issue a challan to the owner of EoL vehicle. Additionally, two police personnel will be deployed at each petrol pump to maintain law and order during the enforcement drive. On June 17, the Delhi government issued a Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)for enforcing the ban on refueling. SOP states that all petrol pumps must maintain a log, either manual or digital, of all denied fuel transactions involving such vehicles. According to the SOP, fuel stations must display a signage stating "Fuel will not be dispensed to End of Life Vehicles — i.e. 15 years old Petrol and CNG and 10 years old Diesel 01.07.2025." Petrol stations are advised to train their staff on the CAQM regulations and compliance procedures for denying fuel to the EoL vehicles. Automated camera systems will work at the fueling stations to capture and display the registration details of the vehicle in real time. The Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC) has been tasked with ensuring the effective functioning of these Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera systems. Fuel stations that violate these norms will be reported weekly to the CAQM and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas for further action, with penalties on the fuel station operators under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Earlier in 2018 the Supreme Court banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi. A 2014 National Green Tribunal (NGT) order also prohibits the parking of vehicles aged over 15 years in public places. (With PTI Inputs)
