Submission Documents: By Bailie Soryia Siddique:- "Council notes the recent formation of the campaign group, "Fight the Hike", comprised of parents across Glasgow who are opposed to the proposed 57% increase in council-run nursery fees in 2018/19. Council notes that a 57% increase this year means working parents could be asked to pay almost £200 more a month. Further, Council notes that many parents had little notice of the changes due to come into place in August this year, and recognises that poor communication combined with a short timescale has left parents without time to budget for the proposed increases. Council notes that over 2,000 have signed a public petition against the fee rises. Council notes that various mitigation measures are in place, including the expansion of free hours for those earning under £30,000 that came as a result of a Labour Group motion to this Council's Education, Skills and Early Years Committee."
