News today that we have been successful in registering our new charity Thornwood Community Green! The hard work begins today! @thornwoodpri.bsky.social Massive thanks to @lanareidmcc.bsky.social whose support on this project has been immeasurable.

“We must fight for the clean energy & heat network infrastructure transformation in our city to be publicly and community owned to release our dependence on the greedy energy and utility companies”

Moving onto the SNP's motion on fuel poverty - with @lanareidmcc.bsky.social proposing our amendments focusing our energy infrastructure being in the hands of the people, not the rich. ✊

Today is Full Council in Glasgow! 💚

Here's a thread on what your Green Councillors are doing 👇

quote: “If we truly believe our constituents have a right to access our river then we should be making it compulsory that land is secured to remove health and safety risk so that it can be enjoyed. Other cities globally have managed to do this, we can too”

Moving to the SNP's motion on the River Clyde, @lanareidmcc.bsky.social highlights the opportunities the Clyde can bring to have a space that everyone can enjoy like many cities around the world. 🌊

If Paris can do it, we all can.

Would love to see more work to make this happen in our neck of the woods @lanareidmcc.bsky.social.

Quote: All of these cuts across mental health and health improvement will only add more pressure to the number of people ending up in emergency situations for example in A&E. Is that when those higher up will take notice? A lot of pain and suffering could be prevented.

Seconding, @lanareidmcc.bsky.social raises the wider impacts these cuts will have on our wider Health system ✊️

Question: To ask the City Convener for Health, Care and Caring and Older People if they have met with users of services due to cease such as the Sandyford Clinic Counselling and Support Service, Flourish House and the Supported Living Service to hear their concerns over the loss of that service?

Health spokesperson @lanareidmcc.bsky.social raises the voice of service users in the decisions about cuts to those very service 🗣

Today is April's Full Council Meeting!

Here is a thread on your Green Councillor's work at today's meeting 👇

Health partnership facing £42.5m budget gap with 145 jobs under threat A supported living service for the elderly — including people with dementia — is at risk, while a counselling service for sexual assault victims at the Sandyford clinic could also be axed.

Mental illness is on the rise in the UK as a direct consequence of austerity, entrenched inequality, crumbling public services, and now a cost of living crisis.

Cutting benefits would make people’s health worse, when what they need is to be taken seriously and supported.

Yesterday we wrote to Glasgow MPs, highlighting our deep concern about decisions made by the UK government and the devastating impact they're having on Glasgow's health and social care services.

Without additional funding, there will be approx. 140 job losses this year alone.
