They said that Cop26 would bring lots of trade to the city too, that local businesses would benefit, etc. From what I've read local businesses didn't see a noticeable uptake in revenues. In fact, a lot suffered due to road closures, etc.

Agreed that it could create buzz and interest though. It'd be great if it helped people into the industry and helped bolster that.

I'm only saying that I haven't noticed any benefit from hosting these productions, so I'm asking how much money the Council are making from them, if any. If it helps fill GCC's coffers and they have more money to spend actually improving the city, then fantastic. If they're paying large sums of money to huge companies for little or no benefit then I would say it is unjustifiable.

I did read the article. The quote you shared says that it is expected to bring those benefits to the city. I was asking whether it actually has because, let's face it, we've heard such claims before and they've turned out to be wrong.
