Council bosses are set to hand over a problem Glasgow building to a housing association for no cost to make way for social homes.
Glasgow City Council was forced to lock up the Govan address after an investigation revealed the situation and also discovered "alarming conditions" inside.When the tenants were rehoused from the unfit homes, the council acquired the building after making sure it was secure. The report said the preferred or potential only feasible future for the 26 to 34 Bridge Street structure is demolition, which could cost £250,000 according to estimates.The report added: "New Gorbals Housing Association has acquired the former public house premises immediately adjoining the subjects, and together with this site, will increase the overall footprint of the area in the association’s ownership and create a more developable site.
It is understood the razed site worth would be £150,000 showing the cost of knocking down the building is "well in excess" of the cleared plot value according to the local authority.
