An investment zone is what we need.

I WAS absolutely delighted with the recent news that Glasgow – and the City Region as a whole – will be home to one of two new investment zones.

The UK Government’s Levelling Up strategy is one that I am fully supportive of and is one that is already delivering for our city with £13m invested in the refurbishment of Pollok Stables and a further £100,000 invested through the Community Ownership Fund in supporting Langside Sports Club. These include our universities sector, of which Glasgow is home to so many world-leading institutions who are developing the highly skilled workforce of the future.

Strengthening our economy and putting measures in place to bring new jobs to Glasgow is exactly one of the priorities Glaswegians want our governments to be focused on right now, especially as they continue to grapple with a cost-of-living crisis. I will be spending the next few weeks doing just that, holding local surgeries where anyone can come along to raise any issue they feel I can help them on.
