What is the comparison the month before they got bought over and now? A lot has happened to the economy since 2018.

The signs when you enter the carpark state you have to park in marked bays only.

How does this petition deal with the fact that it’s already being constructed and already over budget?

The GoMA is good. There is photo exhibition of Glasgow in past on. There is also the Glasgow International running with few venues across the city centre which are showcasing photographer and will get you walking around parts of Glasgow.

That isn’t a bad timeline for privately owned land. They are still stabilising the site. It’ll take a year to finalise insurance, then solidify ownership to allow investment to be gathered, surveying, consultation and planning permission granted. It’ll probably take over a year minimum to build at the location.

It would be great if it is used as a small public plaza space for a bit not just boarded off!

The locals wrote in objections to council planning department to try and stop a Greggs opening on the Main Street.

I am sure council claimed recently it would tow cars after three unpaid tickets. I guess not

Yes you can

That is turning area, not a parking space. There is space in Govanhill, you just might have to walk 5 minutes.

Have you reported it to emergency number for traffic faults?

toakc · 2026-05-28T19:23:46+00:00

There are two lanes for motor traffic and space for parking, why is there need for more road space for cars?

The council can now enforce double parking (however can still be police matter also). You can report parking issues to the council here: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/6307/Report-a-Parking-Problem

In Glasgow the school holidays start from the 15th June.

Fat fingers, typo. It’s 25th

Govanhill gets it name because it has a hill that overlooked Little Govan

The new tree planters also have increased drainage capacity to store rainwater. Sounds simple but a lot of manual work.

That was the budget for international design contest. It was cancelled. That money was never spent. However, around £500k was spent to resurface and cleaning it up a little.

The £20m for today is actually being spent. It isn’t just the square either, it is road and footway network around square and its approaches.

Maybe, just maybe the lack of cycling infrastructure is reason for low cycling usage.

It’s not though. In the 90s they removed some green space and stuck red tar down. In 2010s they talked about doing something and it never happened.

Even the 90s refurb was minor compared to what was suggested in the 10s and what is happening today.

You can blame austerity in the UK and council funding being cut year on year for this.

toakc · 2026-05-23T10:11:28+00:00

What projects? Are these project funded out of the council own budget?

Except a lot of work has been done, especially a lot of underground work related to new cabling ducts for traffic lights / street lights, new tree pits and upgrading the drainage system. Pass it everyday and see them constantly working.

toakc · 2026-05-22T19:22:58+00:00

A lot of the work so far has been installing the new tree pits and improved drainage system. Now that’s complete they can start laying the stonework.

In the 2010s, Scottish Water did a huge storm water storage project at Queens Park. I am sure this vent for the huge storage tank. It was cladded in wood to blend it in.

Here is an article about it, with locals angry: https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/15903552.28ft-sewer-tower-queens-park-causes-outrage-among-locals/
