Balancing the Books

A member of Scottish Labour Party and Councillor for Newlands/Auldburn, Stephen Curran is City Treasurer.

Added to this, the council is facing the huge expenses of hosting the Commonwealth Games 2014 (for which the stadium alone is currently estimated at £98m),[1] and the M74 extension which, in February 2008, look set to cost £657m.[2]


In the Register of Councillors' Interests, Stephen Curran declares the following:

Director of Culture and Sport Glasgow
Director of Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC
Director of Streetwatch South CCTV Trust
Chair of Pollokshaws Settlement & Integration Network
Co-opted Member of New Shaws Housing Organisation Committee
Member of GMB Trade Union, The Fabian Society, Christian Socialist Movement, Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform, Electoral Reform Society, Make Votes Count and Charter 88
