Why keep flogging a dead horse? The building by the looks of it needs to be demolished.
As did nearly every building in Glasgow in the 60s and 70s, and look what happened when someone thought to spruce them up...

Ha-ha, am I supposed to feel bad about that? My heart bleeds, I'm sure they are just as concerned about the welfare and financial well-being of the good people of Govanhill....

Get over it.

Since this is bound to be passed with about ten minutes of non-debate, then probably not. Besides, most of the decision-making and to-ing and fro-ing is done by the planning officers beforehand, and if no-one argued with any applications then they'd all be out of a job, so I'm sure they're pretty grateful really that we give them something to do!
All we're arguing for really is that a listed building shouldn't be largely demolished, cos there's a chance that it can be taken on and re-used without losing the auditorium block. If yet another B-listed structure falls to "luxury" flats behind a retained facade, another wee bit of my faith in the listing process goes, since it starts to look pretty pointless....
If you really think decrepit structures should just be flattened, you ain't gonna find much to interest you on these here forums, I'm afraid!
