Current Consultations

Glasgow Visitor Levy Scheme

The Visitor Levy (Scotland) Act 2024 gives local authorities in Scotland the power to introduce a levy that is charged on the purchase of overnight accommodation at a percentage rate.

A local authority can determine a number of elements of the Visitor Levy Scheme, including percentage rate set, geographical area where it applies and local exemptions for paying the levy.  After initial discussions with a number of key business sectors across Glasgow, the Council would like to gather the views and opinions of all stakeholders, residents and visitors on the proposal which has been developed.

Glasgow Summer Sessions 2025 - Bellahouston Park management of public access (Section 11 Order) consultation

The Council is consulting on the temporary suspension of public access rights on art of Bellahouston Park to facilitate the Glasgow Summer Sessions 2025 between 21^st June and 28^th June 2025.

Under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, the Council is required to provide the opportunity for the public to submit comments or objections to a proposed 'Section 11 Order', the purpose of which is to manage public access during events. In this case the proposal is to suspend public access rights for a limited period on part of Bellahouston Park where the concerts will take place. Alternative routes for pedestrians and cyclists will be available at all times.

A formal notice, with a site plan showing the extent of the closure and alternative routes are available below to provide further information. Comments and objections can be submitted to the email address provided. Please note that we can only consider objections that relate specifically to the proposals for managing non-vehicular public access.

As part of the ongoing review of civic licensing policy, Glasgow City Council, as the Licensing Authority, is seeking views on whether policies limiting the number of taxis and private hire cars in the city are still necessary and proportionate and whether they continue to be in the public interest. 

The outcome of the consultation will help inform the members of the Licensing and Regulatory Committee in determining whether they wish to maintain either or both of the current policies, and if so, whether to proceed to carry out the review of demand that is due to commence in June 2025 in relation to the number limitations contained therein. 

Connecting Yorkhill and Kelvingrove is an active travel project which aims to make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to walk, wheel and cycle in the area as well as improve the quality of public spaces. In 2024 we asked for your opinions on the Concept Design work for Phase 2 Yorkhill South and Phase 3 Kelvingrove; we have taken your feedback on board and have made amendments to the design as requested by residents and visitors to the area. We are also looking for your opinions on the Concept Design that has been created for Phase 4 Corunna Street / Minera Street.

We would like to ask you whether our new designs accurately reflect what you asked to see for this area. Your survey responses will help shape the final design.
