- I’d read the article. It’s COSLA demanding the changes, not the Gov rolling back on the policy. The funding should be welcome, and it should be ring fenced. But it was a poor choice of words.
So you want the Gov to overrule councils in an area they control? If it needs extra money, fair enough.
But should councils have to refurb parks which don’t need it? Or are planned to be removed/moved? Should they focus the money on those that need it?

- Well done in highlighting this reversal David it was a aparent to a lot of people that the promises at election would be hard to pull off and probably electioneering fakery

- There's something fishy about the £1.5m in funding for Glasgow City Council Park amenities that was announced the other week - the very same week, my local park had 63% of the bins removed - from 27 bins, to 10!
Apparently this has happened in a lot of locations in GCC.
Is this part of the same award scheme?
