1.0 BACKGROUND - The Garnethill and Hillhead Residents' Parking Schemes were introduced in 1975 in response to specific difficulties which existed in those areas. Under the terms of the scheme applications for Residents’ Parking Permits will be considered from occupiers of residential houses or flats which existed at that time.
1.1 Where a house or flat has been newly built, or has been formed by sub-division of an existing property, the responsibility for the provision of parking lies with the developer unless specifically agreed otherwise by Glasgow City Council in advance of the sub-division works taking place. If you live in a property which has been built or sub-divided since 1975 or has been split into flats or bedsits, you should check your entitlement before proceeding with this application.
2.0 RESIDENT - For the purposes of the scheme a resident is defined as a person whose usual place of abode is within a residential premises within the area defined in the appropriate Traffic Regulation Order. An applicant will be required to provide documentary evidence of bona fide residential status within the relevant area.
2.1 PROOF OF RESIDENCE - Documentary evidence confirming the applicant’s current address. Proof must be in the form of a current year’s Council Tax statement or a recent utility bill, dated within the last three months.
3.0 VEHICLE - The vehicle should normally be registered in the name and address shown as the applicant on the application, the exceptions to this are listed below in notes 3.1 - 3.4. The scheme makes no provision for shared or borrowed vehicles. The vehicle registration document or a clear copy must be submitted with the application.
3.1 Where the vehicle is a company car, a letter on headed note paper signed by the Company Secretary must be submitted along with the registration document or copy confirming the applicants’ exclusive use of the vehicle.
3.2 Where the vehicle is owned by a hire or leasing company, the hire/lease agreement or copy must be submitted along with a letter from the employer, where applicable.
3.3 Where the vehicle registration document is unavailable through a recent change of vehicle ownership, a bill of sale or invoice for the vehicle must be submitted with the application. The appropriate registration document will subsequently require to be presented within three months of the date of permit issue, failure to do so will result in withdrawal of the permit.
3.4 Where the registered keeper name and address shown on the registration document differ from that shown as the applicant on the permit application then the change of keeper name and address portion of the registration document should be completed prior to submission. This will then be passed to the DVLA by Glasgow Parking.
3.5 Residents permits will be issued free of charge to holders of valid Blue Disabled Badges provided that all other criteria are satisfied. The relevant badge or a full clear copy must be presented at the time of submission.
4.0 PERMITS - A maximum of one Residents’ Parking Permit per household will be issued. You cannot park in a Residents’ Bay until you receive a Permit.
4.1 The Permit must be displayed in such a fashion as to ensure that all relevant details can be read from the footway. Where a permit holder parks in a non Residents’ Bay during the controlled hours then they will be subject to the normal parking charges that apply at the locus.
4.2 Where a permit is lost or stolen this must in the first instance be reported to the Police and then to Glasgow Parking. An application for a replacement permit must be made on the appropriate form.
4.3 Where a Permit holder changes their car or the registration number of their car the Permit must be returned to Glasgow Parking along with supporting documentation for the new vehicle or registration number. A replacement permit will be issued free of charge.
4.4 At all times the Permit remains the property of Glasgow City Council and is issued solely for the use of the applicant and vehicle to which it was issued. Should a Permit holder move out of the area for which the permit was issued or dispose of the vehicle, the permit should be returned to Glasgow Parking. A refund will be calculated pro rata in respect of the number of whole calendar months remaining at the time of surrender.
