'Too often 'regeneration' is something done to working class communities not with them.”
A councillor has voiced his concerns about the planned demolition of four Wyndford Tower blocks over fears about losing social housing during a home shortage in Glasgow.
Councillor Campbell attended a protest alongside Wyndford Residents Union and other organisations this week at George Street and explained his experience in Sighthill when he and other tenants left their homes following a battle to stay. "I share the concerns of Wyndford tenants that mass demolition will be followed by inadequate reprovisioning of new build social rent homes and could take way too long. That's been exactly my own experience from Sighthill. Too often 'regeneration' is something done to working class communities not with them.”
