Friends of Botanic Gardens angry after 'no consultation' over Kibble Palace entry charge plans

An organisation that supports the upkeep of Glasgow's Botanic Gardens has hit out at plans to introduce a Kibble Palace entry charge, saying they have had "absolutely no consultation".

The introduction of the charge was one of the measures announced as part of the Glasgow City Council budget in a bid to raise £185,000. It will see members of the public charged to enter the historic glasshouse in the Botanic Gardens for the first time in over 180 years.

The move sparked immediate outrage from the public, and Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens - which works to support the park - said they have received no consultation over the decision.
