| Comment | The situation is ultimately that Glasgow (and all councils) are beholden to national funding for nearly anything they want to do that is outwith their statutory baseline services.
The council can and should set out its ambitions, as publicly as possible. That's what these various strategy documents are.
The council can get one with *some* things on a smaller scale, but nothing major or sweeping can be delivered without guaranteed funding and in many cases 100% partnership from relevant government level agencies. So, it's not really GCC's fault. It's the rather centralised funding and legislative framework we have in the UK & Scotland. |
