GLASGOW has agreed a budget that targets poverty reduction and a green, community-focused recovery from the coronavirus pandemic - joining the rest of Scotland s local authorities in doing so. Councillors, meeting virtually, this afternoon passed a joint SNP / Green package that will freeze Council Tax bills in the next financial year and protects education and social care budgets. Today’s budget included resources to establish an improvement fund for local parks and green spaces, along with an expanded team of neighbourhood co-ordinators to tackle issues at a community level. It creates a £2m recovery fund to support financial inclusion, access to healthy food and respond to the emerging needs of Glasgow’s communities as the city begins its recovery from the Covid-19 emergency.
