Glasgow councillors are making last-minute pleas to the Scottish Government for more money to help cover a funding gap of up to £100m.
The city’s Green group wants deputy First Minister, and acting finance secretary, John Swinney MSP to attend an emergency summit in the city chambers on Wednesday — the day before the council sets its budget for 2023/24.
It is urging the Scottish Government, which includes Green ministers, to offer more money and powers to improve the “desperate” financial position, as the council faces a £60m shortfall and health and social care services deal with an estimated £40m gap.
