CLIMATE activists deflated the tyres of 40 SUVs in a wealthy Glasgow neighbourhood today as part of an ongoing campaign to demand a ban on the “polluting” vehicles in cities. 

The activists, who are members of new campaign group Tyre Extinguishers, targeted the North Kelvinside area in the city’s West End in the early hours of Friday.

The group placed fake parking tickets on the windscreens of SUVs targeted stating the “luxury lifestyle choice” of its owner had been “disarmed.”
