Proposed Parking Controls adjacent to Scotstoun Leisure Centre

 

Glasgow City Council is proposing to introduce parking controls in streets nearby to Scotstoun Leisure Centre during relevant events.

Proposed Parking Controls adjacent to Scotstoun Leisure Centre

Over the past few years, Glasgow City Council and its partners have enjoyed considerable success in attracting major national and international athletics events to Glasgow. 

Scotstoun Leisure Centre is generally used as the main outdoor venue for these events, which can take place, on average, two to three times per year.  A considerable attendance can be generated for an athletics meeting or for an event at the National Badminton Academy.  This additional attendance can attract many extra vehicles towards the venue, where, despite alternative parking and transport provisions being put in place, adjacent residential areas may seem to be an easy option for those looking to park for the duration of an event.

For this reason, the Council is proposing to introduce parking controls in nearby streets during relevant events only.

This proposal includes the issue of a FREE resident’s parking permit to all residents who apply, and visitors’ parking permits at a cost of £10 per permit.  The outcome, should the scheme be introduced, would be that during a relevant event, only vehicles which display a valid permit or a disabled driver’s blue badge would be eligible to park in any of the restricted streets.

This scheme would effectively discourage all other motorists, who may be attending an event at the Scotstoun Leisure Centre, from using the area as a car park to the detriment of road safety and the general amenity of the area.


The specific details of the proposals, and how to be involved in the consultation process, as well as contact details, are included in the Press notice.
