๐ŸšจURGENT DEADLINE // Yet more demolition threatened for Glasgow, this time the B-listed Hillhead Baptist Church. Object to this unsympathetic and unwelcome scheme by midnight on Friday 20thย September. #saveglasgowsheritage

Look forward to finding out more about the proposal, especially to the south side of River Clyde. #CarltonPlace is in need of an energetic intervention following the tragic fire at the old hospice building. Probably need a bit more than a pedestrian route.

โ€˜There are vast financial rewards if you demolish these old buildings and throw up brick student shoeboxes in their place. Their fate is often sealed on a golf course or the hospitality boxes of Parkhead and Ibrox: my newspaper article for The Herald heraldscotland.com/news/24631104.โ€ฆ

The old hospice on Carlton Place has been ruined in just 6 years. It has taken two fires in a year for the Council to start enforcement action. Could Merchant City inspire New Gorbals HA's masterplan for North Laurieston? I discuss this with Kevin McKenna ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป heraldscotland.com/news/24633048.โ€ฆ

This is infuriating and deeply sad. This is how the character of a city erodes away, building by building. Itโ€™s made all the worse by the replacement being a pile of trash and the glee of the companyโ€™s CEO to see it go.

Angela Rayner has given the go-ahead for the Marks and Spencer Art Deco building on Oxford Street, London to be demolished and turned into a characterless, dreary and environmentally wasteful rebuild. Architecturally elegant buildings like this should be adapted, not destroyed.

I am extremely disappointed at the inappropriate, plan to build a ten-storey student flat block on the former ABC site, in front of Glasgow's crowning architectural jewel, the Glasgow School of Art. I am asking for the refusal of this application and urging for a revised design
