As far as I know the campaign is being run by
Glasgow Community and Safety Services.

From their website,
"Glasgow Community and Safety Services (GCSS) exists to create a safer, cleaner, better Glasgow.

We aim to prevent crime, tackle antisocial behaviour and promote community safety in the city.

GCSS is a charitable body and company limited by guarantee, which was formed in October 2006. The company is jointly owned by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police. It is a Limited Company Incorporated in Scotland (No.130604) and a Registered Charity (No SCO17889)."

Given that Glasgow Council and Strathclyde Police jointly own the company, it seems difficult to believe that the City Council does not receive a copy of the company's annual report and accounts, or that they do not know how much, if any, Council money is paid to the company! It may be that the company's managers are carrying on their campaign without the Directors' knowlege, but that is not within this FOI request, I fear?
