'The UK Government has not done the right thing by Glasgow and has some serious making up to do.'
One of the UK Government’s planned ‘investment zones’ should be created in Glasgow, councillors have urged.
“I made a pitch for direct investment into the city’s economic priorities. I can’t go into too much detail at this early stage, but the meeting was positive.” She was speaking on a motion from Labour group leader George Redmond, who said: “Nobody is wild on investment zones, but they are realistically the only game in town which can give local authorities more powers and levers to attract more prosperity.
Cllr Redmond added the Levelling Up process meant “most places have lost out in a scrap for funds that pits communities against each other rather than working together”. “During the leadership election, all that was promised for local government was a reset. We don’t need a reset, it’s more money that this city needs,” he said.
She said there was “disgraceful and unjustifiable last minute political interference by UK ministers in the Levelling Up process”.
