Submission Documents: By Councillor Kenny McLean:- "Council is deeply concerned by the commercialisation of public space in Glasgow. For too long, civic public spaces - especially in city centre locations, but also across the city - have increasingly been given over to commercially-driven events and development. Council recognises the deep concern expressed by the public over plans for both George Square and the Buchanan Steps in recent years. Whilst development and events in Glasgow are to be welcomed, this should not be at the expense of civic use of public spaces. Council therefore calls on the Council to conduct a review of policy in relation to the use, and management, of civic spaces in Glasgow to ensure that their place in the public life of our city is maintained, preserved and enhanced."
