“We cannot — and will not — support a budget which puts the city and its people at risk.'
Glasgow councillors are making last-minute pleas to the Scottish Government for more money to help cover a funding gap of up to £100m.
A government spokesman said ministers will respond to Glasgow councillors in “due course” — and added resources available to local government in 2023/24 are “increasing”. Invites to the summit on Wednesday have been sent to all Glasgow MSPs and Cllr Martha Wardrop, a co-leader of the city’s Green group, said the council needs support “to deliver investment in local public services”.
Cllr Kerr said the two Conservative councillors wouldn’t vote through a budget that damages frontline services. The spokesman for the Scottish Government said it recognises “the crucial role councils and their employees play in our communities across Scotland and the challenging financial circumstances they face”.
