Parking charges across Glasgow are to increase as the council look sot rake in almost £2m a year extra income.

Charges for on street parking in the city centre zone and the zones outside will be raised and residents will be charged extra for a parking permit outside their home.

Free on street parking on a Sunday will be scrapped to bring in an extras £400,000.

Parking attendants already work on a Sunday and there will no no extra staffing costs.

City Treasurer Allan Gow revealed the charges in his budget which he presented to the council.

It means parking in the city centre will go up from £3 and hour to £4. A rise of one third.

For the streets outside the city centre where parking controls are in place prices will also go up.

The cost just now is £3.20 for a three hour period which will rise by 25% to £4 for three hours

Residents who live in those street who have a parking permit will see it jacked up by £35 a year

Other charges that are increasing include nursery charges.

The budget document shows a rise in early years charges from £254 per hour to $4 per hour from August this year and again to £5 per hour the following year.

The move is expected to bring in £1.25m a year.

Labour criticised the plan to increase nursery charges stating it was hitting young families.

Group leader Frank McAveety, said: “ The SNP is doubling charges for accessing nursery provision and twice the rate of inflation for burials and cremations.

“there has been little discussion with education services about the nursery charge. It’s a good hourly rate just now but within a year it will double to £5 an hour.

You can’t one the one hand say you are protecting the most vulnerable then charge more for nursery provision.”

Mr McAveety criticised the Greens for voting against Labour’s plans which would have included looking at a congestion charge.

He said: “ Labour’s proposals were greener than the Greens, more progressive than the SNP and more business friendly than the Tories.”
