The controversial plans have drawn backlash from some local community members and businesses, while others have been in favour.
We previously reported that petition against the proposals, which gained over 7,000 signatures, was presented to the council during the initial consultation period, which closed on January 15.
Since then, council teams have been reviewing the findings of the community engagement surveys and have revealed when residents will hear about the next steps for the plans. The local authority revealed, “It is anticipated we will be ready to report back to the communities on our findings and present a way forward by early summer this year.”
Several areas on the Southside are being considered for parking controls. The first areas affected by the proposals are Battlefield, Strathbungo and Shawlands.
Other areas of Govanhill, Langside, Pollokshields and New Gorbals (Hutchesontown) will follow in 2026/27.
The general proposals, in line with those already in place in Glasgow city centre and the West End, would include the introduction of resident permits (£80-£595 per year) and business permits (£1,050 per year) to park in the affected areas.
Visitor passes would be £5 for six hours, bought in advance in books of five (£25). Pay and display would be £1.20 for 15 minutes (maximum stay of three hours), and charges for not paying would be £100, reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days. Parking would be chargeable from 8am to 10pm, seven days a week, and all parking would be shared.

A decision has not been made on the final design of the plans, but it can be revealed that residents will find out more soon.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “All of the feedback received in response to the publication of initial proposals for new parking arrangements in Battlefield, Shawlands and Strathbungo is being carefully reviewed as we consider our next steps.
“The feedback includes thousands of responses to our online survey, as well as the petition that had 7000 signatures.
“It is appropriate to take time to analyse carefully all of the information received to help us understand fully the issues associated with parking in these communities.
“It is anticipated we will be ready to report back to the communities on our findings and present a way forward by early summer this year.
“No decisions have been taken about the final design of parking zones for the three communities involved.
“When we do report back in the early summer, we will be seeking further dialogue with all three communities on managing parking pressures in their local areas.
“We want to balance the needs of all road users and ensure the road network is managed as safely and efficiently as possible.”
