| Comment | AFIAK it goes back to land ownership issues. I think the Clyde Navigation Trust owned (and still continues to own) a large area of the Clydeside on both sides of the river.
It was the body that initially built the quaysides and harbour area back in the 18th century.
Over the years they've parcelled off land for commercial sale, whether flats or other developments. I don't know the exact ownership situation but I think the ownership situation has meant nothing has really happened with the river unless it has explicit buy-in from the trust (or whatever combination of private landowners). |
