One of the issues identified to have an adverse effect on Mount Florida and its residents is parking.

Parking restrictions on Cathcart Road
Parking restrictions on Cathcart Road mean that residents who depend on the car to undertake their shopping find it difficult to find nearby parking. arking restrictions on Cathcart have therefore a serious effect on llocal businesses. We would like to see the parking restrictions on Cathcart Road lifted for the shopping area so that temporary parking will be possible.

Parking Restrictions during Matches/Concerts at Hampden Park
During matches and concerts at Hampden Park, further parking restrictions apply. While nothing can be changed about this, we would like to see better communication with Hampden Park, and have provided links to the events pages of Hampden Park on this website. Hopefully, this means that residents will be better aware of dates and park their cars accordingly.

Parking behaviour
We are also concerned about inconsiderate parking in Mount Florida. No parking signs and road markings are often ignored, and access to streets is often obstructed by cars parked on corners. This is a potential health and safety hazard for emergency vehicles. In addition, cars are parked on pavements or on access points to pavements, thus constituting a dangerous obstacle for wheelchair users and prams.

Park and Ride
Many people use Mount Florida to Park and Ride, leaving their cars near the train station in the morning. This adds to the difficulty of finding parking spaces for local residents.
