Current Consultations

Glasgow Visitor Levy Scheme

The Visitor Levy (Scotland) Act 2024 gives local authorities in Scotland the power to introduce a levy that is charged on the purchase of overnight accommodation at a percentage rate.

A local authority can determine a number of elements of the Visitor Levy Scheme, including percentage rate set, geographical area where it applies and local exemptions for paying the levy.  After initial discussions with a number of key business sectors across Glasgow, the Council would like to gather the views and opinions of all stakeholders, residents and visitors on the proposal which has been developed.

Following our previous communications regarding the Red Package, we are pleased to inform you that Glasgow City Council is now moving forward with the consultation phase for the Yellow Package of Connecting Greater Govan.  Proposals aim to enhance active travel infrastructure and improve the overall accessibility and safety of Greater Govan.  This section provides detail on the designs which have been developed for the Yellow Package. 

Proposed designs for the Yellow Package include:

• Skipness Drive (north), Moss Road, Peninver Drive, Burghead Place 
• Skipness Drive (south), traffic-free path adjacent to A739
