Submission Documents: By Councillor Archie Graham:- Council notes: that, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, most Glasgow City Council facilities run by Glasgow Life have been closed for 9 months, and are not expected to reopen in the foreseeable future; that these facilities include local libraries, gyms, community centres and sports facilities; that the reopening of these facilities depends on Glasgow Life having the necessary budget to do so; and that Glasgow Life faces a funding crisis. Council believes: that Glasgow Life facilities are vital parts of our local communities; that our citizens rely heavily on the services that they provide and facilitate; that access to cultural and sports facilities are crucial for the health and mental wellbeing of our citizens; that Glasgow Life is core to creating vibrant communities and that brings investment, jobs and people to our city; that Glasgow is the powerhouse of the Scottish economy and that when Glasgow does well, Scotland does well. Council therefore resolves that the Scottish Government must immediately clarify and improve funding available to Glasgow City Council, and thereby Glasgow Life, to ensure that all 171 sports, arts and cultural venues are fully reopened and available for use by the citizens of this City as soon as it is safe to reopen them; and Council resolves to write to the Scottish Government in these terms.
