THE SNP is gearing up to launch their master plan for Glasgow should they win the council elections in May.

The party, led by councillor Susan Aitken, will set out its agenda for the city at their manifesto launch tomorrow morning.

Included in the proposals are aims to transform Govanhill’s housing crisis, integration and overcrowding.

They also want to invest more than £19m upgrading the city’s 138 primary schools with new play equipment, and want to restore more than 100 playgrounds.

Also among their proposals are plans to promote active travel, for example walking and cycling, and they hope to create Scotland’s first Low Emission Zone in the city centre.

The zone would have restrictions on the number and types of vehicles which can travel through it, and would aim to reduce the level of pollution blighting the city.

Another major part of their manifesto is using community empowerment, and giving more power to locals to make changes and introduce beneficial changes where they live.

They also want residents to have more of a say about decisions being made for the city.

Ahead of tomorrow’s manifesto launch, being held at the City of Glasgow College, SNP Glasgow group leader Susan said her party is “taking nothing for granted”.

She said: “Our plans for Glasgow are ambitious.

“We have a comprehensive plan to revitalise Glasgow, to open up our democratic structures to scrutiny, work hard to deliver social justice and support genuine community empowerment across all aspects of the Council’s work.

“We have already made a number of bold pledges.

“From Scotland’s first Low Emission Zone, to a full independent review of the Council’s decision-making processes, from our bold economic plans to our proposals for Participatory Budgeting in Glasgow.

“Tomorrow we will publish that plan. We will launch our web-manifesto, allowing everyone in Glasgow the opportunity to read our comprehensive plan for Glasgow.

“Over the coming weeks, every household will receive a leaflet with our key messages. Our campaign is vibrant, active and in every part of Glasgow.

We are taking nothing for granted and will work right to the very end to win as many votes as we can for Glasgow.”
