Parking charges across many of Glasgow's tourist attractions are set to increase.

A series of notices published in the Glasgow Times today confirm that fees are going up in several areas from Sunday, April 2.

Costs in some parts of the city will double in the first hour, following the change by Glasgow City Council.

In Anderston near the Scottish Event Campus complex, just outside the city centre, charges for 15 minutes will increase from 40p in the first hour and 60p after that, to 80p.

This means yearly permits will jump from £196 to £230 and quarterly costs will go from £51 to £63.

Similarly, at the Necropolis – a historic, much-visited site by the Royal Infirmary – fees will reach 80p for 15 minutes, from the same rate as above.

Annual charges will be £130, up from £98, and quarterly tariffs will rise from £27 to £35.

Parking at the affluent Kelvingrove area will also be increased to 80p every 15 minutes.

Fees at the famed Barras Market in Tradeston will double in the first hour at the same rate.

This will mean a yearly permit there will cost £130, up from £98, and the monthly price will reach £35, up from £27.

The same increase will take place in the Partick, Yorkhill and Dowanhill areas.

Residents reacted to the notices on social media. Many of them were upset at the rising costs.

A Dowanhill resident said: "It’s a 160% increase in just six years.

"With the exception of energy bills, nothing else goes up by that level though.

"More than happy to pay for a permit for a service, my question is regarding the justification of the significant increase."

A motorist from Partick said: "Absolute joke, I sometimes can't even get parked on my street.

"Also, when I got my new car and was in the process of updating my permit by email (the only way you can), I got a ticket which I appealed but still had to pay."
