Glasgow’s Labour leader is calling for the city council to have more control over local policing as the public enquiry into Sheku Bayoh - who died while being restrained by police - continues.
Councillor George Redmond will present his motion to elected members on Thursday morning, asking them to write to the Scottish Government about the lack of local, operational accountability of police services which are being delivered nationally.
The motion mentions the case of 31-year-old Sheku Bayoh was born in Sierra Leone and fled to the UK in 1995 unaccompanied to escape civil war.
