From our first day in office, Glasgow’s SNP city administration has prioritised support for low-income families, committing ourselves to making the political choices which address many of this city’s deep-rooted social and economic challenges.insecurity have hung over far too many in Glasgow’s communities for generations.
But now, piled on top of the impact of years of austerity and cuts to benefits, those households already struggling with low incomes are facing a whole new raft of financial pressures. Clearly, with the wide range of powers and resources available to it, it is in the gift of the UK Government to step in and assist those families living with the dire consequences of its mismanagement and ideological attacks.
