USERS of a city park have not been adhering to social distancing during lockdown, it has been claimed.

West End residents are still reporting of crowds gather on a regular basis in Kelvingrove Park.

The Glasgow Times was sent this image of the skatepark within Kelvingrove, taken yesterday, that shows crowds congregating.

The reader who supplied us with the image said it is a regular occurrence and fears that the stay at home message is still not been followed. 

In March, the Scottish Government banned public gatherings of more than two people in Scotland in a bid to flatten the curve of the Covid-19 spread and protect the NHS.

The first phase of the Scottish Government’s four-part plan to ease lockdown restrictions is likely to begin on Friday.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said a “clear decision“ would be made on whether the country is ready to start lifting some of the curbs on daily life that were introduced in March.

The Scottish Government is next due to review the lockdown on Thursday.

But before that decision has been made, this picture appears to show that others are not following the lockdown rules. 

The issue has also been raised on social media by park goers attending Kelvingrove and Glasgow Green for essential exercise. 

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "The Scottish Government's guidance is clear - people should only leave the house for very limited purposes, for example for basic necessities, such as food and medicine, for exercise, for medical needs or travelling for work which cannot be done at home.

"Our officers will continue to engage with the public, explain the legislation, encourage compliance, and will use enforcement only when necessary."
