One councillor has claimed that the funding system is 'fundamentally broken'
Politicians of all parties in the city have recognised the scale of the financial crisis facing Glasgow.
Susan Aitken, SNP leader of Glasgow City Council, said: “Almost the entirety of the additional £550 million announced for local government in December has to be directed at national priorities. George Redmond, leader of Labour group, said: “It is evident that there is no additional funding coming. It is evident that there is no additional support. It is evident that the SNP are running local councils and local services into the ground.”
“So whatever budget is ultimately voted through on Thursday, councillors must still come together to demand the powers that we need and the respect we deserve.”John Carson, of the Labour Party, said: “The funding system for local councils from the Scottish Government is fundamentally broken. It’s time to make a stand.”
