The Greens set out their plans for Glasgow ahead of the council elections next month.

The party wants to tackle climate change but also has plans for other council services.

Greens want to “increase the numbers of teachers and learning support staff, to keep class sizes down”.

It wants a “comprehensive walking and cycling network, accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels”.

And it says it will “Invest more in frontline waste and recycling workers and in training, supporting and empowering them properly. This will improve bin collections, encourage more recycling, and provide a rapid response service to deal with overflowing bins”.

Jon Molyneux candidate for Pollokshields, said: “Our manifesto is a comprehensive plan for a greener and fairer Glasgow, ensuring that everything the Council does contributes to that goal.

“Everyone voting Green on May 5 can be sure that Green councillors will work flat out to deliver our plan and get results.

“We’ve shown that in the last five years - securing the city’s 2030 net zero target, despite the SNP opposing that at first. We’ve guaranteed funding to reopen every library, ended a ten-year pay freeze for foster carers, and delivered millions of pounds of investment in local neighbourhoods."

Martha Wardrop, Hillhead candidate, said: "The climate emergency is the greatest challenge we all face, but it's not too late to make a difference. Green councillors have led the Council in setting a 2030 net zero target, but now we must deliver action and support climate justice.

"Greens are already doing that in government - with free bus travel for under 22s and record investment in recycling and nature restoration. 

The Greens have six Glasgow councillors at present.
