Yesterday in Holyrood Green pressure delivered what Councils across Scotland have been asking for – extra funding to prevent cuts, greater freedom to raise funds locally, and a vital package of long-term local tax reforms.
“Setting in motion an end to the unfair Council Tax is a huge achievement and, together with other reforms, it means councils like Glasgow can raise more money locally, like most other modern European cities," said Cllr Allan Young, co-convenor of the Green Councillors Group in Glasgow.
