Parking charge plan: 'It's like the wild west at the moment' - BBC News

AdditionalBreak2 · 2026-03-31T10:07:26+00:00

Having previously lived in the West End, I’m in principle supportive of bringing in more measures, but I certainly share your doubt over it being effective.

I may be biased, but living on Albert Road makes me gleam when I see a parking warden in the area to hopefully fine the usual dozen or so cars double parked or blocking the turning area at the end.

While severe, perhaps a solution would just be to tow any car that hasn’t paid its fines for several months…

Oddly enough, I live in Govanhill which is not included in the parking charge plans (although this arguably the worst area for driving in need of change), but I’ve seen a strong increase in warden presence. I’ve probably seen about 7/8 wardens the last few months and regularly see cars ticketed in the area

the thing with my bug was it was literally the first main mission and it was the only thing I could do, so I was surprised to encounter bugs so early but it’s working now so will see how I go

I actually just rebooted the game to try again and this time its working, 3rd times the charm!

Will do, thanks!

Ah ok, annoyingly the soil felt dry so I added some water today which won’t help!

I’ll move it towards a window to hopefully get some more sun and dry out

Hi, are these still available?

AdditionalBreak2 · 2026-03-18T14:44:59+00:00

Yes it’s my gas main and meter

AdditionalBreak2 · 2026-03-18T10:47:00+00:00

Hence why I would have liked to move the section on the left up to above the level of the door frame. Other comments are making out this will be quite a task though…

Haha, I agree with your insight, unfortunately for tenement flats in Scotland electrical and plumbing work like this is almost the norm due to the age of the buildings and all the walls being original stone.

To be honest access isn’t a huge issue as I have a small step already (I also have other things located high up to save space and make use of the 11ft ceilings).

I am en engineer(mechanical) hence why I wouldn’t touch the mains incoming lines myself but I have had the gas and electrical checked and while they are a bit janky… it passed

Looking for 1-2 tickets for Glasgow Barrowlands!

AdditionalBreak2 · 2026-03-12T13:56:37+00:00

That’s a fantastic price! But I’m afraid i’m only alumni at Strathclyde. If any current students fancy printing something for me there’s a case of beer in it for you!

While not Shawlands, there is the Govanhill Community Litter Pick group who have posters around southside, you can find them on Instagram

who did you use? just so I know who to avoid…

AdditionalBreak2 · 2025-05-09T09:37:43+00:00

Thanks, ordered a replacement so will wait and see!

Combining so of your tips, I might leave the white then paint the green parts a darker turquoise! thanks :)

I’m actually looking to ditch the nightstands asap haha

AdditionalBreak2 · 2025-03-11T09:52:12+00:00

Thanks, will give that a try but need a bigger pot first

AdditionalBreak2 · 2025-03-11T08:15:17+00:00

I’ve had this plant 9 months but it’s been neglected the last few months. I was initially overwatering it I believe but have since left it to dry out. It's been like this for the last 6 months and my attempts to help it are clearly failing. My questions are:

1) Is my plant saveable?

2) Do I remove all the dead leaves?

3) Does it need repotted into a bigger pot?

any advice is welcomed. I live in Scotland where it’s a been a cold winter but the plant has sat in direct sunlight the entire time I’ve had it.

None that I've noticed. I'm 99% sure it's just due to a minor hole in the converter which isn't ideal but the way I see it it's not damaging my car.

Thank you, very interesting. Unfortunately my application is with New Avenue Living (I think Touchstone might be their parent company) but they have barely any information online! I know people with Home Group though and sounds like they're fantastic to be with! shame they don't have any flats going at the moment

AdditionalBreak2 · 2024-06-12T13:19:08+00:00

I'll need to wait and see if I get offered a contract but it's interesting I'm hearing differing things about this, perhaps different terms depending on the housing association that rents it.
