A controversial Glasgow City Council budget was passed today in order to plug a £49m hole in finances.
Put forward by City treasurer Ricky Bell, the budget was designed to balance the books for 2023/24, against a backdrop of more than £400million of cuts in the last decade.
Glasgow Labour group walked out of Glasgow City Chambers ahead of the budget to stand in solidarity with union groups protesting the cuts. They were later joined by Conservative and Green councillors following their statements.
