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.
