Controversial parking controls have been introduced in a further three West End locations.

Streets in Hyndland, Hughenden and Dowanhill West will now be subject to strict parking conditions.

The changes have been designed to stop commuters parking in resident’s spaces and bring an end to obstructive parking practices.

On-street notices are currently being displayed throughout the affected areas.

Glasgow City Council said they identified Hyndland, Hughenden and an unrestricted area of Dowanhill as being negatively affected by parking pressures.

The pressures are said to be primarily caused by commuters during the daytime and residents struggling to find convenient parking spaces at night.

In turn, emergency services, delivery and refuse collection vehicles have been struggling to use the roads.

The parking is also said to be causing a safety issue for vulnerable road users and pedestrians.

The proposals are hoped to establish 1,486 shared use parking bays and the capacity for an additional 102 vehicles could be accommodated by parking within designated lanes (out with the refuse collection day), on single yellow lines on Clarence Drive and Hyndland Road between 6pm and 8am, within loading bays between 6pm and 8am when they are not operational and within the bus layby on Hughenden Lane between 6pm and 8am when it is not operational.

Permit holders within the Hyndland, Hughenden and Dowanhill West areas will be able to park within the existing Dowanhill and Partick zones with a similar W3 identifier.

A statement issued by the council explains: “The West End of Glasgow has excellent bus, train and subway transport links which unfortunately attracts commuters driving to the area and using the residential streets to park?and?ride resulting in the kerbside road space being sterilised by all day parking with indiscriminate and obstructive parking practices commonplace.

“The introduction of parking controls is an effective way of managing the demand for the finite road space available by preventing all day parking thus reducing the traffic attracted to the area whilst increasing the turnover of parking spaces and improving air quality, road safety and traffic flow.”

One way roads will be introduced to assist with maximising the number of parking spaces where safe as two-way roads require passing places to be introduced at the expense of parking spaces.

On certain roads parking will only be permitted on one side due to the limited road widths.

A 20mph Zone is also proposed to complement the Order which will be promoted in parallel under a different 20mph Order with both proposed to be introduced simultaneously.

As previously reported by the Evening Times, streets between Hyndland Street and Fortrose Street now have metered parking bays.

This includes Anderson Street, Burgh Hall Street, Caird Drive, Fordyce Street, Fortrose Street, Gardner Street, Gullane Street, Hyndland Avenue, Hyndland Road, Hyndland Street, Lawrie Street, North Gardner Street, Partickhill Road, Stewartville Street and White Street.
