A petition has been launched to keep admission into the West End’s Kibble Palace free.
Back in February, the Glasgow Times revealed that Glasgow City Council were to begin charging £3 for an adult and £1.50 for a child to view the Palace’s plants, sculptures and fish.
The charges, which have not yet been introduced, are to"strike a balance between raising revenue and cutting services", according to the council.The Keep Our Kibble Palace Free petition, which was submitted a few days ago on the council website, has warned that the space is needed"now more than ever".
“Losing free access to the Kibble will inevitably result in fewer visits to the Botanics. Now, more than ever we should be facilitating access to nature and green spaces for public health, and educating and informing us all on biodiversity, conservation & climate. One person wrote: “I was in the Kibble yesterday afternoon. It was quite busy most of the people there were carers and their clients, a lot in wheelchairs and mums with prams.Another said: “They're going to charge to get in the Kibble Palace? No!Glasgow City Council has since stated that the petition will be presented to the committee"in due course".
