A £23 million fund to improve Glasgow’s neighbourhoods has been criticised by Labour councillors who claim “essential” repairs have “sneaked” onto the proposed list of projects.
They have said the £1 million per ward scheme is being used for work which the council has an “obligation” to carry out.
Councillor Jill Brown, a Labour representative for Partick East/Kelvindale, said the list of projects “proposed by the administration” not only “lacked any imagination but on a number of occasions covers repairs which the administration has a statutory obligation to make."
