Call to scrap 'anti-growth' town centre parking fees
Paisley Daily Express
|July 14, 2025
Real concerns about the future of Paisley town centre have been raised with calls to scrap “anti-growth and anti-business” parking charges.
Renfrewshire Council implemented new charges for on and off-street parking in the town centre in February 2024 following several years of the Free at Three initiative. Introduced in 2021, the scheme offered visitors free parking for up to three hours in six town centre car parks.
Councillor Jamie McGuire is the latest to add his voice to a long-running campaign to reinstate the popular parking policy.
Explaining the current charge penalises those who want to “shop local”, councillor McGuire told the Express: “The council says it wants to support Paisley, but its actions say otherwise.
“Millions are being spent on projects like the museum to bring people in — yet parking charges are pushing them away. It's a policy contradiction that makes no sense.
