'The problems in Glasgow city centre predate Covid'✍️ George Redmond

IN recent weeks the Glasgow Times has campaigned on the need to improve the condition of our city centre and for theto lead on a positive action programme to reclaim Glasgow’s role as one of Europe’s top retail and night-time economy destinations.

It has been astonishing that in Sauchiehall Street alone there is a gap site at the former Victoria’s Nightclub, a neglected BHS site, a damaged ABC venue, never mind the colossal neglect caused by the two Glasgow School of Art fires. Even after the major spend on City Deal via The Avenues Project it looks as if we need to start all over again.

The next priority is to ensure that our city centre lanes are properly lit and add to the attractiveness and safety of the city centre. In addition, visible policing is reassuring to visitors to the city and to our young people when they are out enjoying themselves in the city centre.
