Submission Documents: By Bailie Dr Nina Baker:- "Council notes the publication of the Long Leases (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament. This will allow properties currently on leases of 175 years or more, with 100 years or more to run, to become the property of the tenants. Whilst it is asserted by council officers that this will not affect any Glasgow City Council properties, we nevertheless believe that it would be against the public interest for this to apply to properties in public ownership, particularly where the properties are common good. Council further notes that the public consultation period ended on 3rd February. Council therefore instructs the Chief Executive to write to the relevant Minister of the Scottish Government to the effect that the council requests that the Bill be amended to protect publicly-owned properties and, in particular, Common Good Fund assets."
