Cllr Anthony Carroll

Joani Reid MP once demanded "the British public deserves to know" whose side Jeremy Corbyn was on with Russia.

Now, the British public deserve to know whose side she is on & if she has financially benefited from an alleged Chinese Spy.

Anything less must call her position as an MP into question.

Investment in grassroots sport will lead to long-term benefits for our communities.

We must support our local football and sports clubs and address barriers to participation.

It was a pleasure to visit @strochsfc.bsky.social in Glasgow with @anthonycarroll.bsky.social 💚

This hasn't been the only place they've had such a commercial lens to their lets - my colleague Cllr Christy Mearns has been fighting them about other leases where they're milking community orgs commercially

City Property are risking Glasgow's cultural & community hubs not just at Trongate but across the city with their eye-watering rental policies. ❌

They must urgently rethink & withdraw these bone-headed plans if we are to see Glasgow's cultural and community spaces continue 💚

Stunning session in Dennistoun today! 💚

Folk said they saw the Green win in Manchester & see us now as the party to fight Reform come May's election ✊🗳️

Gillian Mackay MSP and Councillor Anthony Carroll visit St Roch’s FC in Glasgow.

Football clubs are often the beating heart of their community.

An excellent example is @strochsfc.bsky.social founded in 1920 and play at James McGrory Park, Glasgow.

It was a pleasure to join @anthonycarroll.bsky.social on this visit to see the excellent work the club are doing! 💚

"I really want to encourage more people from backgrounds like mine to get into a system that has always shut us out."

Hannah Spencer MP: plumber, plasterer, parliamentarian

I'm sure he can spell his own name right when he puts his signature on his resignation letter.

Labour threw the kitchen sink at this, with some of the most sinister smears I've ever seen, & still lost. ❌

Well today, people voted for change - and if you don't like the change voters have made Kier, I say the door is open, and you can leave. 💚

Kung hei fat choi - happy Chinese New Year to everyone in Glasgow Chinese School Multicultural Centre who had some great celebrations yesterday in Royston! 💚

Playgrounds would become crack dens if greens were in power policing minister says.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

"Green Councillors have been pressing for safer parks & a feminist lens added to our city's planning approach across Glasgow-this is a prime example of doing so in the East End"

I'm looking forward to making lighting in Alexandra Park a reality along with park users & council officers 💚 💡

Yep! We approved NIIF money for that, and the lighting in Alexandra Park on Tuesday

Bright idea man stands in Glenconner Park

This week at Dennistoun Area Partnership, we allocated £120,000 to Glenconner Park, for landscaping, benches, and an outdoor gym area 💚

Park users, in particular women, have been raising safety concerns in the park & lighting the main route from Alexandra Parade to Provan Rd will be a positive step for the area 🏞️

Looking forward to the Forge Pyramid Head.

Dear Secretary of State, UK Government funding streams impact on Glasgow We write regarding the implications of recent UK Government funding changes, in particular of the migration from Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) towards new funding streams As you'll be aware, the announcement late last year was that the SPF would end, with four new streams as replacement - Pride in Place Programme (PiPP), Pride in Place Impact Fund (PiPIF), Growth Mission Fund (GMF), and the Local Growth Fund (LGF). Over 3 years, PiPP, PiPIF, & GMF totals £47.91m and LGF £60.9m, which is £18.7m less in cash terms than what the Glasgow City Region (GCR) may have received if funding adhered to the UK Government commitment to match levels of previous EU structural funding by 2024/25. While there are particular concerns raised by Glasgow City Council's Regional Economic Growth (REG) team in terms of the reductions to funding (attached is the latest committee report detailing the expected shortfal), the key concern we wish to raise with you is the focus on capital resourcing over revenue, with PiPIF and GMF are 100% capital; and PiPP and LGF split 75% capital, 25% revenue.

We would be keen to understand why there is a difference to the Glasgow Region's funding profile compared to other UK City regions, for example with both Manchester and Liverpool LGF allocations at 75% revenue. It would be helpful to understand whether this change was by direction of the Scotland Office, and upon which data this decision was based. The different funding profile has put at risk around 200 jobs previously funded by the SPF. As an example, it results in a critical threat to the Molendinar Community Centre in Blackhill, run by St Paul's Youth Youth Forum, Forum, which which will wil ciosc close without intervention to reprofile the fund from capital to revenue. The Molendinar Centre is a vital resource in in the the North North East East of of Glasgow (falling just outside of current PiPP mapping), providing crucial mental and physical health support, welfare and housing advice, and serving as one of the only 'third spaces' within the Germiston and Blackhill area. Prior to St Paul's taking on the centre, it was closed for an extended period of time. Since taking it on, we understand that St Paul's has exceeded all targets agreed with funders, ensuring a vital community facility in an area with high levels of multiple deprivation and where there is no other similar provision. The community held a well-attended public meeting on the impact of funding changes, which generated cross-party support including from local Labour representatives. While UK Government capital investment in Glasgow is indeed welcome, there is an important principle that funding of activity falling under devolved subject areas should be under the control of devolved institutions. In addition, there will be little impact in communities due to benefit from Pride in Place funding if no services remain viable to run within those communities. We would therefore ask that the balance of revenue and capital can be revised in order to avoid the tremendous negative impact of losing not just th…

I have written alongside @patrickharvie.bsky.social to the Secretary of State for Scotland about changes they've made to Glasgow's funding.

They now risk the future of the Molendinar Centre - a vital space for Germiston & Blackhill that mustn't be left behind by new UK Gov funding policies. 💚
