Parking restrictions and charging is to be extended in controlled zones across Glasgow.

The city has 24 zones with parking restrictions just now where metered bays are in place and residents purchase permits.

In six of them, the hours are from 8am to 10pm seven days a week.

In the other 18 zones the hours are either Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday usually 8am to 6pm.

But following the council passing a budget last week it will be changed to see all zones moving to 8am to 10pm seven days a week.

The zones affected include the city centre which is currently 8am to 6pm Monday to Sunday with an off-peak charge on a Sunday from 9.15am to 4.15pm

Currently, only North Kelvin/North Woodside, Belmont, Hillhead, Woodlands, Kelvingrove and Garnethill have the extended hours up to 10pm each day.

The move was agreed in the budget after the Scottish Greens and SNP reached a deal to support a plan.

The SNP budget paper included a measure which was headed: “The standardisation of chargeable hours across parking zones”

The reason given was: “To provide maximum benefit for permit holders and encourage modal shift, standardise the hours for parking charges across all zones to seven days a week, 8am to 10pm.”

It is projected to raise £686,000 in 2026/27.

The Labour group’s budget submission also included the same proposal.

Once implemented, it will mean the other zones will be changed to introduce a charge for parking seven days a week from 8 am to 10pm.

They are city centre, inner and outer zones, Napiershall, Woodside, Speiersgate, Hyndland, Partick, Dowanhill, Park, Yorkhill, Sandyford, Cranstonhill, Barras, Tradeston and Necropolis.

Main roads with parking rules, outside the city centre include Duke Street, Alexandra Parade and Paisley Road West.

As well as extending the hours when charges apply the cost of parking will rise from April this year.

The move is expected to generate an extra £2.5m in the next year, the following year and £2.3m in 2026/27.

It is projected to raise £7.3m over three years.

The increased hours for on-street pay and display parking is estimated to bring in more than half a million pounds to the council coffers each year.

Other parking changes to come into effect from April include a rise for multi-story car park parking fees, and an increase in off street surface car park charges.
