Residents say the disused factory is being used by youths to house illegal underground raves which are rife with drug taking and underage drinking
LOCALS are demanding action to tear down or secure a dilapidated ‘death-trap’ building in the north of Glasgow amid claims it has become a magnet for anti-social behaviour.
A massive blaze at the site at the beginning of June raged for over 11 hours, causing disruption across the area as firefighters and police closed a number of surrounding roads – and now locals say they have had enough.The land has housed factories since 1892 and was most recently operated as a production plant by Belgian-based Promat to make fire resistant boards for the construction industry, airports and shopping malls.
Springburn ward councillor Thomas Rannachan and Glasgow Labour MSP Paul Sweeney are both fighting to have the area secured and are currently working with the Land Registry Office in Edinburgh to try and track down the owners.
