Labour council just green lighted their demolition.

quite sad really, it really was a well used civic space.
 
Slightly related; see folk are trying to remove Edinburgh's UNESCO world heritage site status because of how fuckin' shite our council is.

How much more glass do we need?

Architects as unimaginative as fucking musicians these days.

Maybe it's because that is where they got humiliated by that bloke on the rickshaw blasting Star Wars imperial march music. Possibly the funniest thing I've seen in years. Very relevant as well given the kind of campaign that had been ran.It'll be a shame but I've always thought indoors type area's are useful inScotland. One reason we don't have a cafe culture here is the rain, something they suffer from quite badly in Glasgow.

The glass atrium they are replacing it with looks ugly as sin too.

i understand the council is strapped for cash with cuts and all and hopefully this makes them money.

I really hope there wasn't anything malicious in it though, the labour council didn't like the pro-Yes protests held there.

to be balanced both sides used the steps.

and above all that I used to like sitting on them to eat my lunch and catch some rays.
 
I dont know Glasgow well at all. Is that the steps at the top of Buchanan St?

That's the main reason folk are against them going I think, it is usually teaming with folk doing the exact same.

If I'm meeting friends or family in town its always "get you at the steps".

Aye with the Donald Dewar statue at bottom. I wasn't familiar with their proper name and googled, this resulted in google returning to me some Glaswegian mental health charity, resulting in further confusion!

That should be a thread on its own so I can have a wee rant!

Could you start it with a link to the story please?
