“The decision taken to knock back Glasgow’s bids like the renewal of the People’s Palace while awarding £19 million to the Prime Minister’s affluent constituency will leave a sore taste in the mouths of Glaswegians across the city.”
A recent report on regeneration projects taking place in the city highlighted the “damaging Levelling Up funding decisions”, made by Westminster officials, despite the scheme being designed to improve everyday life across the UK. It also confirmed that none of Glasgow’s bids were accepted.
Council officers noted the “huge disappointment” among council workers who had developed the levelling up fund applications on short timescales and that the UK Government had been contacted and asked for a full feedback on the cities applications. It was also confirmed that Council Officers were at work to identify alternative sources of funding.
The local authority is now working to find alternative funding methods and confirmed that regeneration of the People’s Palace and Winter Gardens remains a priority with £2.9 million already allocated for work on the museum.
