Glasgow council leader Susan Aitken has refused to consider £1 million spending options for Langside improvements until residents are consulted on ideas properly first.
On Tuesday council officials put forward options for how community money could be spent, which was supposed to involve people having a say. But stopping the process in its tracks, SNP Councillor Aitken stated: “This is not communities deciding.”
All 23 wards across the city have £1 million extra each to spend on roads, lighting, footpaths, drainage repairs or other infrastructure. And residents are supposed to play a part in making decisions on where the cash goes.
