Councillor George Redmond is expected to present a motion that demands a new fair funding agreement for Glasgow in the wake of the cost of living crisis.
Glasgow’s Labour leader has issued a fresh plea for a fully integrated not-for-profit public transport system in the city which is controlled by the public.
The motion will also focus on issues impacting many Glaswegians including an “inadequate” public transport system.It comes after First Bus put forth plans to cut the Night Time Bus service, which were later withdrawn due to push back from the hospitality industry and politicians. “The council notes the recent proposals by the Scottish Government to increase Council Tax for the poorest people in society. This increase will affect thousands of hard-working families across the city, who are already struggling to make ends meet during a cost-of-living crisis.
Councillor Redmond’s motion will also raise concerns over budget reductions which has impacted public services, cleansing, schools and the culture sector.
