The Crown won’t contribute - but taxpayers will.
Using taxpayer cash to pay for Coronation events is a “slap in the face” for the people of Glasgow during a cost of living crisis, the city’s Green group has said.
Green councillors have criticised the funding of the ceremonies, after they found the Crown won’t contribute but taxpayers will.Cllr Anthony Carroll, Glasgow Greens’ democracy spokesman, said: “To have taxpayer money and Glasgow’s Common Good fund used to subsidise activities in honour of one of the richest men in the UK is a slap in the face while many people still face soaring food and energy bills in this cost of living crisis.
The Greens said money for the events is coming from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the council’s own civic hospitality budget, the Common Good Fund.
