Councillor Aileen Colleran

Councillor for Partick West as a member of the Scottish Labour Party, Aileen Colleran moved from Council Business Manager to Chief Wip in May 2007. In the Register of Councillors' Interests, she declares undertaking remunerated work for City Building LLP (as Director/Board Member) - a Limited Liability Partnership set up by Glasgow City Council - and for Glasgow Cultural Enterprises (as Director/Board Member) - another of Glasgow City Council's companies.

Having supported Bridget McConnell in the devolution of cultural and leisure provision from council control to Culture and Sport Glasgow,[1] Aileen Colleran was rewarded with one of six Councillors' seats on the Board.

Under non-financial interests, she lists the following offices/memberships:

  • Campaign for Socialism
  • Unison
  • Friends of the Earth
  • Socialist Environmental Resources Association
  • ACTSA (Action for Southern Africa)
  • Scottish Cuba Solidarity Campaign

Notes

  1. Colleran instructed McConnell ‘to prepare a detailed business plan to establish the most efficient and effective structure for a Social Enterprise for the delivery of the Council’s Cultural and Leisure Services’, which should define the scope of the organisation, the level of funding required from the Council, and any staffing, tax and legal implications. See Glasgow City Council (2006b) Executive Committee Minutes, 15 September, notes 3C(3)(a) and (b).
