Glasgow City Council wants to put the building back into use
The owners of a Govanhill flat which was infested with pigeons and has been described as a “health hazard” have objected to aGlasgow City Council wants to buy 3/1 178 Allison Street to allow Govanhill Housing Association to bring the property back into use, but the owners have claimed the move is “neither justified nor appropriate".
A reporter has been appointed by the Scottish Government to assess the case and an inquiry is set to be held, with a decision expected by December. However, a council official said the only time entry had been refused was when Covid restrictions were in place. He asked the owners to consider a sale to Govanhill Housing Association if the required repairs were “too costly".
Council officials reported: “The owners did not respond to any of these offers and are refusing to progress negotiations.” He added: “While there is little doubt that Govanhill contains residential properties where public acquisition is appropriate, and may be the only practical way in which properties can be restored to full and normal use, the property to which the present order relates is not such a property.”
