In late 60's Parking meters were banned because it would bugger up the street scape & also bugger up my parking!!!

I have to say I quite like the bottom one, with the wavy sandstone / glass front.
A £15MILLION plan to build more than 107 flats in one of Glasgow's conservation areas has been approved - but one politician said the decision would have the original architect "turning in his grave".
The comment was made after the city council gave planning permission for 107 flats in a curved block with a copper roof in Park Circus Lane, near Charing Cross.
Park Circus was designed by Charles Wilson around 1850, but after the new scheme was approved, former Pollok SSP councillor Keith Baldassara said: "Charles Wilson would be turning in his grave if he thought this new building was going to be completed with a copper roof."
And former Hillhead councillor Niall Walker shouted at the planning committee: "You should be ashamed."

It was the second time the council had given permission for a scheme at the site.
The first was in July 2001 when the Stewart Milne Group was told it could build 100 flats and six mews houses.
However, the council decision was overturned by the Scottish Executive following a public inquiry in April 2002. Because the land is owned by the council, this latest decision will also have to be approved by the Executive.
The flats will be built on empty land intended to be incorporated into the original scheme. Objectors say the area has foxes, squirrels and birds, but the council says the foxes will be moved to a new location before work starts.
