Why this petition matters

Started by Anthony Docherty

The Kibble Palace in The Botanical Gardens in Glasgow has been free for 100 years. Yet now the SNP run Glasgow City Council want to charge to enter. 

The Kibble Palace is used daily by local people often young families you can hear children laughing and asking questions about the Palace and it’s plants, it’s a great educational tool.

You see people meeting people and catch up it’s a great place for I often see older people doing this and have spoke to people who say this is where they get their daily social interaction.

Charging people who may not be able to afford to enter, you are damaging the people of Glasgow’s mental health, physical health and destroying generations of children’s learning and childhood memories.

These charges are a ridiculous idea to solve Glasgow City Council being over budget, our council tax is already going up and I worry what else we will lose if we don’t challenge them. This is the reason I am starting this petition.
