Plans to introduce a charge for the public to enter Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens have been met with shock and anger
A group campaigning for the reopening of the city's public venues has called for the introduction of 'tourist tax' as an alternative to charging the public to enter Kibble Palace.
Glasgow Against Closures, who have been protesting the long-term closure of Glasgow Life venues, have said they are in favour of introducing the 'tourist tax' which is already in place in many European cities. "The budget states that the Mitchell Library is to have its opening hours reduced, efficiency savings to be found in library services, swimming pool hours reduced, sports services reduced, and a review of staffing within the parks department.
"To exclude unfettered access to the valuable plant collections and the demonstration of their globally economic value will strike a major blow to Glasgow’s promotion of environmental awareness and climate change information.” "You see people meeting people and catching up. I often see older people doing this and have spoken to people who say this is where they get their daily social interaction.
