Parking

Janet — Wed, 23 May 2007 20:35:27 +0100

Over the last year or so, we have had many meetings and consultations with City Councillors, City Council Land Services Department, Strathclyde Police, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue as well as with residents and local businesses with regard to Parking restrictions during major events at Hampden Park and Daytime Parking Restrictions on Cathcart Road. Unfortunately all these discussions have been put on ice due to the recent elections. We will now be back in touch with these agencies as well as with our new City Councillors to resolve these issues once and for all.
