Glasgow councillors have united to say “enough is enough” and call for greater funding for the city as a £119 million budget gap looms.
They want a fairer funding settlement and more power to raise their own revenue, with city treasurer Ricky Bell suggesting a land value tax and a congestion charge.
Councillor Philip Braat, who presented a motion which secured cross-party support, said since 2013 to 2014 the council had been “forced to make savings of over £300 million.”
