GLASGOW'S celebrated alfresco culture is facing a crackdown by city planners.

Bars and cafes with substantial outdoor tables will face tough compliance regulations in a move that has angered the city's licensed trade.

Glasgow City Council says the growing outdoor culture - fuelled by last year's long hot summer and the smoking ban - have sparked a surge in unauthorised alfresco venues.

Now it wants to target businesses which "ignore their responsibilities."

advertisementVenues with large outdoor areas need the go-ahead from three separate authorities - planning, roads and finally the licensing board.

Now council chiefs want to scrutinize these venues more closely.

But concern was expressed today by licensing board convener Councillor Gordon Macdiarmid who questioned the move and said they had received few, if any, complaints about smokers using outdoor tables.

Al fresco is the in thing now. Most bars would do anything just to have an alfresco setting. Yuppies love alfresco too. They can smoke, laugh and drink in this setting. In Paris alfresco commands pricey coffee. So, I can not understand why Glasgow officials are doing this. All they have to do is ask for charges or fees in opening alfresco.
