Glasgow City Region steps up another gear

摘要

Last month the Glasgow City Region City Deal stepped up another gear, with a commitment by the leaders of the eight member authorities to develop a new vision for the future of the city region and the launch of a new regional brand and website. The Glasgow City Region City Deal already boasts a number of firsts. The contract with government for the first and largest city deal in Scotland (and now the second largest in the UK) was formally signed in August 2014. Our partnership of neighbouring local authorities, with Glasgow as lead authority, was the first ever city deal to benefit from funding from both governments - with £500m each provided from both the UK and Scottish Governments and local authorities borrowing a further £130m.
