City Deals – Soundbites
Sally Thompson, Audit Manager

“Billions of public funding has been committed to deals so far, enabling economic development projects to go ahead. But it’s not clear how the Scottish Government will measure their overall success. 
“There’s more work to be done to ensure there’s more transparency around why individual city deal projects get approved over others. And it’s also important that the right staff are in place to deal with the additional work that city deals bring at a time of considerable financial pressure for councils.”
