Elderpark Housing Association are set to take over 'abandoned' flats and New Gorbals Housing Association could receive a problem building.
Three “abandoned” Ibrox flats and a building which was illegally let out are set to be taken over by housing associations under deals with the council.
Ownership of the flats — 1/3 and 3/2 27 Harley Street and 1/2 25 Harley Street — would be transferred to Elderpark Housing Association, which owns other properties in the blocks. “We have already used compulsory purchase orders in other parts of the city to bring such homes back into productive use, and we will continue to do so where appropriate.”
He added: “Our understanding is that the owner has effectively abandoned these properties putting at risk their long-term maintenance, in addition to causing environmental blight within the local area.” Officials reported giving the Bridge Street building to New Gorbals Housing Association is “the only realistic possibility of getting this site developed”.
The housing association has acquired a former pub adjoining the building and is considering development options, which the council said are “more deliverable” with the disposal of 26-34 Bridge Street.
