The party will not put forward an alternative budget, and said they won’t “support a budget that cuts statutory services”.
Long-term solutions including a workplace parking charge and congestion charging are needed to tackle Glasgow’s funding crisis, the city’s Greens have said.
Cllr Jon Molyneux, Greens co-leader, said he hasn’t seen the SNP’s budget plans yet, but his group’s position hasn’t changed. “For us it’s about long-term fixes for these issues and that’s really about the council’s ability to raise more revenue. We’ve had lots of creative ideas for those, but also using some of the powers that the council has, like workplace parking levy and congestion charging which we are not currently using.”
Earlier on Wednesday, GMB convenor Chris Mitchell and Cllr Dan Hutchison, Greens, met in Clifford Lane and Clifford Place to show the challenges faced by cleansing staff in the city, with rubbish piled up and bins overflowing in lanes and backcourts.
