Glasgow Hillhead residents only parking spaces to open up to public
Residents living in a popular west end neighbourhood have hit out over plans to open up parking to the public.
She said: "We are so close to such a popular area but it will always be popular. You’ve got the weekend visitors and shoppers, the events that take up the whole of winter from autumn to after Christmas, where you’ve got every single night and weekend huge numbers coming to the west end. "What we’re worried will happen is if you’re only restricting from 8.45am to 5.15pm, when people who live here are coming back from work, there will be people who have left their car here. Then at the weekend, when families are out, we’ll come back and won’t have a place to park near the house.
"She said 'if I’m parked 10 minutes walk away, I can’t get to the hospital'. That’s a much worse position. She would literally have to give up her own home.A spokesman for the council said: “Residents’ parking permits remain in place in the Hillhead parking zone and will continue to give residents the right to park their vehicle in an available parking bay within the zone at all times.
“The change in arrangements will also make it easier for visitors such as family or contractors to park near to their intended destination."
