BEARGER 1,830 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Glasgow City Council have today refused the creation of this new pub on Copland Road.

Bluedell 5,627 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's a joke that it's been refused. What are the SNP's city development plans? They seem hellbent on destroying the city with the lack of support for the city centre, the crazy LEZ, lack of public transport, taxis being forced away, resulting in the closure of outstanding restaurants and the place being overrun with junkies. It would be interested in what plans they've got for Copland Road. We know that any development will continue to be in the east end whereas they allow the area around our stadium to be run down or to hem us in with social housing to try and prevent any development of the club's environs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 26th of foot 6,082 Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 Scott Arfield's mistake was to make application under his own name. The best name to use is, 'Gordon Archer'. It is a name of incredible good fortune when making application to Glasgow City Council. Four years past, the Council spent £350,000 refurbishing 12 shops on the Saltmarket at Trongate(Glasgow Cross). This was a scheme known as, 'Meanwhile Spaces, an attempt to take empty shop units in rundown areas, do them up and, hand them over to entrepreneurs at peppercorn rental rates. The idea being to reinvigorate the area. Applications were made and a ballot was necessary to decide the new tenants prepared to pay the rental costs of £1.00(one pound) per annum. Gordon Archer came out the ballot first and he took two of the shops to create an art gallery. Gordon Archer is the husband of Glasgow City Council Convenor, Susan Aitken. Of course, Gordon Archer is of such good character he was suspended from holding Directorships for six years only last year. Gordon transferred several hundred thousand pounds from LDB to a personal account, the week before the company went burst, owning millions to creditors. Obviously, 'Meanwhile Spaces' does not apply to Copland Road. Scott's second mistake was not to consult the SNP Policy Advisor to Susan Aitken, Gerry Braiden. Falls Road born and bred Gerry formed the Ibrox and Cessnock Residents Association. Remember, they stymied Rangers attempt to buy the sports centre facing the Stadium and objected to plans for the recently opened Edmiston House. What are the Ibrox and Cessnock Residents Association's plans for Copland Road? I suppose as soon as Gerry tells them, we'll know. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
