Glasgow City Local Fire and Rescue Plan - Public Consultation
Glasgow City Local Fire and Rescue Plan – Public Consultation
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) is seeking your views on the draft Local Fire and Rescue Plan for City of Glasgow 2026.
Glasgow is a vibrant and diverse city with communities that have different needs and challenges. We want to ensure our Local Fire and Rescue Plan reflects the issues that matter most to local people and helps us target our resources where they can make the greatest difference.
SFRS already work closely with our communities, local authority partners and third-sector organisations, but it is important that everyone has the opportunity to share their views and shape the services they provide. Whether you are a resident, business owner, community group or partner organisation, your feedback will help SFRS understand local priorities and continue improving outcomes for the people of Glasgow.
Your feedback will help ensure the final Plan:
- Reflects local priorities, risks and needs
- Supports effective partnership working
- Delivers the best outcomes for communities
- Informs local service delivery over the coming years
How to Take Part
You can view the draft Plan and complete a short consultation survey using the link below:
Consultations | Scottish Fire and Rescue Service
The consultation is open until midnight on Thursday 15 October 2026.
SFRS is committed to listening to the views of their communities and partners. Following the close of the consultation, feedback will be carefully analysed and a summary of the findings will be published, setting out how responses have informed the development of the final Plan.

Argyle St and Queen St Overnight Road Closure Friday 14th August
Argyle St and Queen St Overnight Road Closure Friday 14th August
Works to install tree planters on Queen St, and Ingram St will take place on Friday 14th August, necessitating a full closure of Argyle Street/ Queen Street – from the junction of Jamaica Street, Union Street and Argyle Street. There will be local access only from the junction of Glassford/ Ingram St westbound. Diversions will be signposted.
Queen St Junction with St Vincent St Closure from 4th August
Queen St Junction with St Vincent St Closure from 4th August
With construction of the new the southern carriageway of George square currently progressing, work on the Queen St-St Vincent Place junction will get underway on August 4. In keeping with the rest of the Square, granite stones will be laid across the new junction, pavements widened and new traffic lights installed. To ensure work is carried out safely and efficiently, the junction will be closed to all vehicles for the duration of the work, which is expected to last for ten weeks. Pedestrian access will be maintained across the junction for the duration of works while road traffic arrangements will be put in place to allow service vehicles to reach premises close to the junction.
Diversions and traffic changes…
During work on the Queen St junction, access to St Vincent place will be achieved from West George St via Anchor Lane. As this route cannot be used by vehicles over 10 metres long, service providers are advised to deploy suitably sized vehicles. The bus gate at Nelson Mandela Place will remain in operation, but an exemption for goods vehicles will be introduced while work is underway. A loading bay will also be created on St Vincent Place between Anchor Lane and George Square to help service vehicles reach business premises. To allow access to premises on Queen St to the south of the junction, the bus gates at the junction of Queen St and Ingram St will be suspended. Queen St will also become a temporary two-way street between the junction and Ingram St to allow vehicles to access. A diversion route for north and west bound traffic has been created along Ingram St, High St, George St, Montrose St, Cathedral St, North Hanover St, Killermont Street and West Nile Street. Road users are asked to plan their journey is advance to help minimise the impact of the closure on their travel. Bus passengers should check with their operator for any changes to their service.
