The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will launch a public awareness campaign regarding the (a) law concerning and (b) potential impact on health of cars being parked with their engines idling.
The answer
Since 2004 the Scottish Government has made available funding to local authorities to support awareness raising around the potential health impacts of vehicle idling, and the associated law. 12 local authorities are currently making use of this funding, employing a mix of advertising media and direct contact with the public.
For example, the East Central Scotland Vehicle Emissions Partnership (comprising West Lothian, East Lothian, Midlothian, Falkirk and Stirling Councils) operates the Switch Off and Breathe campaign to help raise awareness. Further information can be found at https://switchoffandbreathe.org/ .
