A dangerous building notice has been issued to the former Territorial Army building in Paisley due to the removal of crucial scaffolding. Councilors are demanding action against the JR Group, who own the B-listed structure, for allegedly ignoring notices to reinstate the support system.
A dangerous building notice has been served on the former Territorial Army (TA) building in Paisley as councillors call for tough action on the owners. The future of the B-listed structure in High Street hangs in the balance after the majority of the façade retention scheme, made up of scaffolding, was removed. JR Construction, a division of the Paisley -based JR Group, has been accused of ignoring formal notices to reinstate the support system.
It is understood the council has considered reporting the matter to the criminal courts. Councillor Mags MacLaren, an SNP representative for Paisley Northwest, said: “This is a disgraceful act of civic vandalism by the JR Group. They removed the scaffolding supporting the building knowing that it could cause more damage and may result in its demolition. “It’s bad enough when companies outside of Paisley and Renfrewshire make a mockery of our historic sites but for a company based in Paisley to do so is sickening.” Elected members met to make a decision on JR Construction’s application for listed building consent to knock down the façade at the planning and climate change policy board on Tuesday, December 3
