| 9 | Questions from Councillor Niall Walker |
| (a) | To attract the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow needs an excellent public transport network. What would the organisers think of the Council building a car park in Victoria Park, rather than improving rail and bus links to Scotstoun? |
| (b) | To improve air quality, will Council vary parking and permit charges, to reward environmentally friendly cars and penalise large polluters? |
| 10 | Notice of Motion by Councillor John Mason:- "Council appreciates the valuable seminar held by SPT recently concerning the bus industry in Glasgow. Ever increasing subsidies cannot continue to be paid to the bus companies for routes that are not profitable enough for them. It is apparent that some form of increased regulation and/or franchising is required to provide this city with a more integrated public transport system. It is clear that we can have integration or competition but we cannot have both. However, Council notes that both Labour and Liberal Democrats in the Scottish Executive have so far refused to seriously intervene in the bus industry. Therefore, Council calls on the Scottish Executive to take this issue more seriously, to abandon competition in favour of integration, and to initiate consultation on which form of regulation or franchising offers the best way forward." |
