Glasgow’s social work service will pay “above market value” to continue renting flats for young asylum seekers in Springburn as “pressure” from new arrivals in Kent affects the city.
Officials decided a new five-year lease for 20 two-bed flats at Aman Court, on Laverockhall Street, was the “best option”, despite the rent rising by almost £65,000 per year.
Councillors backed the proposal after they were told a review of asylum seeker accommodation would not be complete before the lease needed to be renewed.
