Glasgow Council decide to pause Kibble Palace entry fee
Glasgow City Council has decided to pause a proposed entry fee for the Kibble Palace glasshouse in the city's Botanic Gardens. A petition, signed by more than 2,000 people, was presented to the council opposing the planned entry charge of £3 for adults and £1.50 for children. The A-listed glasshouse, famous for its exotic plants, scupltures and fish, has been free since it opened in 1873 but the council proposed a charge for entry to help plug a funding gap.
