Council leader Susan Aitken previously suggested a night-time commissioner could be appointed, and now Conservative group leader Thomas Kerr wants the council to push on with the plan.

Glasgow Conservative group leader Thomas Kerr will ask the council to support appointing someone to the role at a meeting this week.

A Glasgow SNP group spokesperson said although work had been shelved during the pandemic, a recently-established group will focus on “the best models for ongoing engagement with the sector”. Speaking ahead of the meeting, he said: “Glasgow’s night-time industry is at breaking point and needs urgent support. It is worth billions to the economy in the city and beyond and helps create jobs and opportunities for many people.

He wants a cross-party working group to look at the role and its remit, with final recommendations by the end of this year.
