Glasgow Council and Glasgow Life
My earlier post about council services in East Renfrewshire reminded that I contacted the Deputy Leader Glasgow City Council (David McDonald) recently to ask a question about Glasgow Life - the council's arms length provider of culture and leisure services.
Cllr McDonald is the chair of Glasgow Life and I contacted him via Twitter to ask whether any of their 2,500 staff had been redeployed into support other council services during lockdown -since Glasgow Life's facilities have been closed since March 2020.
Now I realise it's not a simple job to redeploy hundreds and thousands of staff, but local people have been unable to access these services for over a year now and it would be good to know what thought has been given, if any, to helping other council services which have been struggling because of Covid.
I must see if I can find my note to Cllr McDonald who is presumably appointed by City Council to sit on the board of Glasgow Life.
