For the past six months, Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt has been updating this research using as many of the investigative tools at my disposal as possible. A full report is now online http://www.shiftyparadigms.org/images/Glasgow_Life_or_Death.pdf
Please download it before it is threatened with removal.
Against a backdrop of growing inequality in the city, Culture and Sport Glasgow (CSG), or Glasgow Life as the company now prefers to call itself, has:
- failed to attract the outside funding on which its financial model was predicated, which means that vital services will have to be cut.
- run up a staggering pension deficit during its time of operation.
- trampled on the rights of its workers, which were supposed to be protected under the terms of its agreement with the council.
- prioritised the attraction of tourists to the city over the needs of the people of Glasgow.
- allowed its board members to profit from skewed procurement processes.
- bypassed mechanisms in place to ensure transparency.
Please disseminate this report to anyone you think might be interested.
