The proposal is not presriptive and more work needs to be done to make it a reality, but the idea as far as I am concerned would be to charge non residents for general tours (Belfast City Hall charges £6 per adult) and also more bespoke experiences (twilight tours, weddings etc.)

I could bore anyone on this! I think the legislation that supposedly prevents us doing this could be challenged but there's reluctance to put that to the test.

Thanks, that's kind. We're not all awful self-serving careerists! My son has a different rare genetic disease so I have some sense of the additional challenges that poses for navigating 'the system'. The SHA grant is a tiny amount in the scheme of things but makes a big difference.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My friend cared for her mum for many years. Write to all those in the list from SHA. Encourage as many people as possible to speak up. I am speaking to a journalist this week, if you would like to do that also. PS: i dig your thing on here btw.

It was voted as part of the budget in March. I didn't vote for the budget but a majority of the board did. I brought a motion to reverse it in June which resulted in a 7-7 tied vote but there was a subsequent ruling that my motion was not competent. It is a shitshow.

I think it's awful. I have been trying incredibly hard to have this decision reversed, working very closely with the Scottish Huntington's Association. Would be very happy to discuss directly.

Glasgow's Visitor Levy Forum will have both community and worker voices on it after Green amendments were agreed unanimously today. This will help balance the voices of big business and ensure that investment priorities focus on people who live and work in Glasgow too. @glasgowgreens.bsky.social

Proposing Green amendment to Labour's celebration of the Pride in Place funding, @jonmolyneux.bsky.social highlights we are facing deep challenges such as in housing & homelessness, and that the UK Government ought to engage with the Council on these now. ❌
“An ill-conceived and under-funded regeneration scheme isn't the way for Labour to show they are proud of Glasgow. Engaging seriously with the absolute biggest challenges we face is.”

A statement from the Glasgow Green Councillor Group 💚
A statement from the Glasgow Green Councillor Group 💚

"The Green councillor group is saddened by the decision of a number of friends and colleagues to stand down from the party. We respect their  decision and wish them well. 

We will work constructively with all parties who share progressive and eco-socialist values. That has always been a huge part of how Greens do politics. 

We are and have always been a group of socialist councillors and are hugely proud of the difference we're making. Greens have led the city's opposition to the Gaza genocide, we've delivered urgent climate action, declared Glasgow a feminist  invested in our communities.

Increased access to community halls, libraries and swimming pools, free school meals, and investment in cleansing workers have all been secured because of Green councillors - and we will keep fighting for fairer funding to reverse the effects of austerity on our communities.

Our focus and energies will remain on delivering as much positive change, with the powers available to us as councillors, for the city and our local communities."

Proposing the motion, @blairanderson35.bsky.social says that the terrorists aren't those protesting what is happening in Gaza, but those perpetrating it ❌️
Quote: "Spray paint and peaceful
protest isn't terrorism. The
murder of children, the
ethnic cleansing of
Palestine, the genocide we
are seeing in Gaza- that is
terrorism. Locking up
peaceful protestors is a
pathetic attempt to cover up
the UK's complicity in
genocide.'
