£1.5m bid to help kick-start economy

NEW small businesses that start up in Glasgow are to have their rents and rates paid for them for up to four years in a bid to kick-start economic growth.

Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson is to announce a £1.5 million New Business Fund to help small to medium businesses launch in the city.

The deal is part of a new "beyond recession" blueprint for the city designed to support the public sector and open up new job opportunities for Glaswegians.
