THE leader of Scotland's largest council has rejected calls for him to apologise over the £100,000-plus debacle that ended in plans for the redesign of a city's main civic square being scrapped.
Gordon Matheson also refused to answer questions on allegations the rug was pulled on the plans after the judging panel in the competition did not opt for his favoured design.
Mr Matheson described the process that resulted in the cancellation as "robust" and accused the SNP of wanting to spend up to £500,000 on a public consultation on George Square.
