Temporary City Centre Dispersal Zone effective from 20th March 2026

A temporary dispersal zone will be introduced in Glasgow city centre from Friday, 20 March, 2026, as part of ongoing work to address anti-social behaviour and crime in the area.

The zone will cover an area bounded by St Vincent Place, Glassford Street/Stockwell Street, to the far side of the riverbank, and York Street/West Campbell Street. Glasgow Central Station, St Enoch Square and Union Street all fall within the zone.

The powers allow officers to direct groups of two or more people to leave the area if their behaviour is impacting on the safety and wellbeing of others. Those directed to leave will not be permitted to return to the area for 24 hours.
The measure will be used proportionately and only when necessary as part of wider work with partners to support a safe and welcoming city centre.

Glasgow’s Climate Plan Consultation is now Open

Glasgow is committed to ensuring that our Climate Plan, first published in 2021, stays relevant and effective and has now developed a revision which is out for Consultation. Take the survey here.

This revision builds upon the accomplishments and advances made in the city’s journey towards becoming a net zero carbon city by 2030. It recognises the scale of the opportunity in Glasgow to pursue lower-carbon energy, heating and transport. The Plan reinforces our ambition to become a net zero carbon city and to redouble our efforts to enable a just transition towards that goal.

By bringing together our plans to reduce carbon emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change we are already experiencing, we believe that this revised plan will help ensure our city is better equipped to make the journey to net zero carbon and deal with the increasing risks posed by the climate emergency. We also hope that this updated plan makes clear the many benefits that can be achieved through climate action, such as warmer homes, lifting families out of poverty, cleaner air, and providing green job opportunities.

It is really important that Glasgow City Council hears  from the people, organisations, and institutions of Glasgow, about what you think, so that they can make sure that Glasgow’s Climate Plan delivers the healthier, greener, more prosperous city that we want to see.

In addition to the revised Climate Plan, they have produced a Quick Guide, which is a good starting point to help you understand what the Climate Plan is and the information it contains. We would also encourage you to have a look at the full Climate Action Plan and let us know your views through this consultation process.

We hope as many people as possible are able to contribute their views to the consultation.  Glasgow City Council will also be hosting a series of engagement opportunities across the city during the consultation period. If you are interested in coming along to hear more detail and talk with us about what is important for climate action in Glasgow.  This page will be updated with more information about locations, dates and times.

The consultation period runs from Thursday, 11 December 2025 and closes on Sunday, 15 February 2026. Come along to one of our events below to find out more.

• Public Drop In Event St Enochs Centre – 29^th January 2026 10am – 4.30pm
