Bulldozers have begun to demolish the Bellgrove Hotel in Glasgow, which was notorious for housing homeless residents in appalling conditions. The council plans to use the land to build new accommodation.
Bulldozers have moved in on a notorious Glasgow hotel that once housed homeless residents living in horrific conditions.
It comes after a campaign fiercely fought to close the hotel amid allegations that homeless people were living in 'stinking pools of vomit and urine on the floor'. The homeless hostel was compared to “a Soviet gulag” and Dickensian poorhouses when it was raised in the Scottish Parliament, after a 2014 Daily Record investigation found occupants were housed in tiny rooms looking onto a rat-infested courtyard.
