The council is cutting red tap to help boost the city's cafe culture
Greater enforcement will stop outdoor seating areas from taking over walkways in Glasgow city centre, council chiefs have promised, as a new street cafe policy is rolled out.
“Yet still some premises have had street furniture out with no space for pedestrian access past it, so how do we deal with situations like that where premises do not have the space to abide by this regulation but currently are trading outside?” A council official added there must be a “two-metre unobstructed walkway” and “that would be assessed as part of the application process”.
Cllr Blair Anderson, Greens, asked: “How strict do you foresee the enforcement being? I know in other parts of the city, people will complain about not having the necessary walkway space, officers will go out and businesses will rearrange the furniture. Changes, approved at a city administration committee meeting today [Thursday], mean venues can open from 7am until 10pm. However, the rules are slightly different on main pedestrianised areas at Buchanan Street, Gordon Street, Royal Bank Place and Exchange Place, where operators can serve from 11am to 10pm.
