| 8 | Notices of motion:- |
| (a) | by Councillor Jonathan Findlay:- "Glasgow City Council strongly believes that Scottish education should remain a public service which is most effectively provided by democratically elected and accountable local government." View Papers |
| (b) | by Councillor Graham Hendry:- "Council notes with concern the high and disproportionate impact the misuse of alcohol has on Glasgow's citizens and welcomes the committment of national and local Governments to tackle this. Whilst Council notes there is no one answer to tackle this problem it welcomes the principle of minimum pricing which has an important role to play in tackling the misuse of alcohol in Glasgow."

| (c) | by Councillor Kieran Wild:- "10:10 is a project to unite every sector of British society behind one simple idea: that by working together we can achieve a 10% cut in the UK's carbon emissions in 2010. Glasgow City Council agrees to sign up to be a 10:10 organisation." View Papers |
| (d) | by Councillor Craig Mackay:- "Council notes the "Working Group on Scotland Without Nuclear Weapons: Report to Scottish Ministers", published by the Scottish Government on 18th November, which shows that renewing Trident will actually cost 3,000 Scottish jobs. Council recognises the lead role it plays within Nuclear Free Local Authorities Scotland, and the successful NFLA seminar hosted by Glasgow City Council on 23rd October. Council reaffirms its longstanding opposition to nuclear weapons, and calls on all Glasgow MPs to put pressure on the UK Government to: 1. Signal its resolve to strengthen the international nuclear non-proliferation regime by terminating any further work on the replacement of Trident; and 2. Divert the savings to economic recovery and frontline services including education, health, crime prevention and local services." View Papers |
| (e) | by Councillor Jennifer Dunn:- "Council expresses serious concern over figures obtained from the UK Border Agency that show that, between October 2008 and September 2009, 103 children were detained at Dungavel in Scotland and notes that, in the last five years, 889 children from 488 families throughout the United Kingdom have been held for over 28 days, thus requiring UK Ministers to personally approve continued detention. Council considers that these figures show that, efforts of the previous administration and the current Scottish Government to end the practice of the detnetion of children at Dungavel, children and families from Glasgow such as Florence and Precoius Mhango from Cranhill and the Aslam family from Springburn are still being subjected to this unacceptable practice. Council resolves to write to the UK Government noting our objection to holding children in detention and to ask that this practice be ended." View Papers |
| (f) | by Councillor Martha Wardrop:- "Council notes that the proposal for a new coal-fired power station at Hunterston was not on the Scotttish Government's list of vital infrastructure projects when they were published in 2008 for public consultation and therefore, in effect, no public has been consulted. Council also notes that the proposed building of this coal-fired power station will bring devastation to important bird habitats and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), adversely impact on public health from tonnes of waste and ash, and increase Scotland's CO2 emissions which will contribute towards climate change. Council calls for plans to establish a new coal-fired power station at Hunterston to be abandoned." View Papers |
