| Comment | It's horrible eh? I had to wait on a bus daily in union street, a few years ago and felt genuinely uneasy back then, and it has actually worsened since then.
There was a meeting in February 2020 about potential plans for the Egyptian halls (the big scaffolded eyesore) but I've never been able to find minutes or any outcomes. Even just anywhere outside buchanan (with its countless charity muggers) is just so grim and horrible. Rubbish, dodgy characters and closed down shops. Sauchie Hall Street looks like the gaza strip and I don't see how pedestriabising it is going to reopen all the shops which have closed and change the absolute carnage which takes place most nights there outside the bars.
I think trongate has given some spaces free for artists to use and it seems to really be becoming a bit more "cooler" (read, gentrified and hipster), but considering that used to be well dodgy, it's definitrly seems to have switched places quite a bit.
Makes me really sad to see the city centre. I'm a "proud glaswegian" but fuck its not easy. |
