The question was asked
It seems that Glasgow City Council has assembled a package of properties,
mainly primary schools, which are surplus to requirements. They are looking
for a private sector partner who’ll give them an up-front capital
sum (around £100m) and a share of the eventual profits. At one level
this proposal can be seen as good business – working public assets.
But what about all the communities where these unused primary schools are
situated? Have they no say in what happens to local facilities – why
should some outside developer determine their future? The citizens of Glasgow
are entitled to know which properties are included in this sell-off package.
Does any reader know where Senscot can get a list to circulate? The councils
of both Glasgow and Edinburgh are a long way from taking seriously the empowerment
of local communities.
Happy Easter kids, hope your schools not been sold off over the weekend
