Glasgow City Council recently announced plans to extend parking charges to 10pm but following
00:07
backlash these plans have now been put on hold. The local authority included proposals
00:11
in February's three year budget, though now council leader Susan Aitken has said they
00:15
are now under review after listening to businesses.
00:18
Motorists and business groups argued that extending parking charges beyond 6pm would
00:22
deter people from visiting the city centre during the evening and consequently affect
00:26
the night time economy. Even if the changes do come into fruition the earliest they can
00:30
be implemented is 2026 as they require a traffic regulation order and a consultation period.
00:36
The reason behind the proposal was to generate more money for the council to go back into
00:40
the city and help them make up for lockdown losses, create more space for people in the
00:44
city centre while also encouraging use of public transport.
00:47
The plans will now be referred back to the cross party budget group. The council said
00:51
they will now be considering the rebalancing of city centre streets and their longer term
00:55
plans for travel.
