Bins are overflowing, streets are getting filthier and bus services are on the brink of collapse – but the SNP aren’t lifting a finger to fix these major environmental failings.
Glasgow deserves better than this.

I'm deeply worried by this decision.
Not only will this have a toll on the city centre economy but it’ll reduce safety for women and the vulnerable.
First Bus must reconsider its decision.

Incredibly disappointed by this decision.
Charities, businesses, and the night-time economy will be severely hit as a result.
We asked for a 12-month delay to 1st June 2024 to allow all stakeholders across the city to have the time to adapt to the LEZ.

The SNP have forgotten they have been in power for over 16 years.
Bus services have been slashed over their tenure.

This is why there had to be a delay.

Our budget proposal was forward-thinking, innovative, and ambitious for Glasgow.
Thanks to our persistent pressure, the SNP has made an embarrassing U-turn, removing the closure the Couper Institute from their budget.
Glasgow Labour's budget prioritises future-proofing our city based on the clear desires of Glaswegians.
We're focusing on financial and environmental sustainability and delivering for the people of Glasgow.

Given the scale of poverty in the city, it is truly astonishing that there’s no commitment by the First Minister.
Children in his constituency who are suffering from the cost of living crisis are being failed by it.
Glasgow deserves better.
Humza Yousaf claims he is focused on tackling poverty - but his government's inaction is leaving council services unable to support Glasgow's children.
When even SNP councillors are calling the government out on this, it is clear that the SNP has nowhere to hide.

My thoughts are with the Royal Family at this sad time.

We owe her immense gratitude for a lifetime of dedication and public service.

The Queen brought our nation together at times of crisis, providing hope during the darkest of times.
We will treasure her service and devotion to our country.

There's no doubt that yesterday's Spending Review from the Scottish Government is a rotten deal for Glasgow.
More service cuts, more job losses and the city's most vulnerable even more vulnerable - all down to SNP financial stewardship.
Glasgow deserves better than this.
