A new vision for the main streets in the city centre has been approved by councillors.
The plan for the ‘Golden Z’ of Sauchiehall Street, Buchanan Street and Argyle Street aims to transform the streets for the future.
The old ABC/Jumpin’ Jacks site, destroyed in the second School of Art fire, the area around the vacant old BHS store and Victoria’s nightclub and Watt Bros building on the pedestrianised section of the street, the site of the old TJ Hughes and previously C&A on Argyle Street are identified.It notes that engagement and involvement of the building and land owners is needed and that some “meanwhile” uses could be put in place until longer-term plans are secured.
“There are an increasing number of vacant units within King Street and Chisolm Street, primarily beneath Street level uses plan residential, demonstrating a clear decline in the area's fortunes post-pandemic.” “The retreat of established retail chains has left behind a number of vacant and under-let units, many of which are periodically occupied by short-term, poorer quality retailers.”
“These streets have been most affected by the changes in retail shopping which have taken place across the UK.
