With COP26 around the corner (31 October – 12 November), this will create a unique set of challenges for travelling, both in and around Glasgow.
It is highly likely that if you live in Glasgow, and travel to work between 23 October – 15 November, your journey will be impacted.
Kay Sandilands, director of human resources, NHS Lanarkshire said: “COP26 is a hugely exciting event that is coming to Glasgow, however, it is anticipated that given the size of the event – the largest Glasgow has ever seen – that from mid-October until mid-November, there will be some disruption within the area.
“Despite this being a Glasgow based event, we’re aware that this will have a direct impact on our staff who are based in Glasgow and travel to work, and perhaps a knock-on effect on staff based in Lanarkshire as roads are expected to be busier during this time.
“Those who live in Glasgow, and are able to work from home, should consider doing so within the above timeframe as travelling either by road or public transport is expected to be disrupted.
“We understand this is not an option for everyone, so if you travel to work, please plan ahead accordingly and allow additional time for your journey.
“Many organisations are working together to support this event, ensure safety and minimise transport disruption, as best as possible.”
