A Labour councillor is expected to call on the leader of the council to bring forward a cross-party working group to tackle these increasing challenges facing Glaswegians.
At this afternoon’s full council meeting Labour's Frank McAveety will ask councillor Susan Aitken to comment on the trouble which took place in Govan on Friday, August 30 during an organised Irish Republican Band march.
It comes as a further 14 marches are scheduled to take places across the city in September.
Councillor McAveety said: “Sectarianism has begun to rear its ugly head on Glasgow’s streets again, and it simply cannot go on.
“The scenes we have been witness to have been nothing short of a disgrace. All of us recognise the severity of the challenge facing our city and recognise that the issue is much bigger than party politics. It speaks to who we are as a city.”
The Glasgow Labour leader will call for a group to be convened to update members of the on-going discussions, about these parades and other issues, with the Scottish Government.
Police were on standby last weekend to deal with another Irish Republican march and Loyalist protesters, which saw 11 people arrested.
Councillor Aitken has already held meetings with the Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary to explore potential changes to legislation in a bid to restrict the number of marches.
Residents have said that enough is enough and that is time to stop driving people out of the city with these protests.
Councillor McAveety went on: “Glasgow has shaken off the demons of its past and is a world-class city built on the foundations of tolerance and respect.
“It will take all of us working together, speaking as one city, to stay true to those principles.
“The people of Glasgow have had enough with the violence on their streets and it is incumbent on us all to reach a solution for the good of our city.”
