| Comment | I read an interesting article recently (not real journalism; it was just Catriona Stewart in the Evening Times, but still an interesting read) that made a case about why Giffnock, Rutherglen, Bishopbriggs, etc should all be folded into the city proper.
In these areas, they pay their council tax to Local Authorities other than Glasgow, but the vast majority of the folk living there work, play and eat in Glasgow. The questions being raised were; is it right that people living in Bishopbriggs, who pay zero council tax to Glasgow, get to visit Kelvingrove Galleries for free? Is it right that people living in Bearsden and Giffnock get to contribute, daily, to the city's traffic congestion problems while not financially contributing to the upkeep of the city?
Valid questions. |
