The funding is part of an ongoing push to reduce the amount of vacant and derelict land in the city.
Five projects to regenerate rundown sites in Glasgow are set to benefit from £5.5m, as a push to revamp vacant land which is a “blight on communities” continues.

Just over £640,000 could be awarded to Clyde Gateway towards the creation of “high quality outdoor space” and Spire View Housing Association is set to get £265,000 to fund work on a community park. It added this continues “a trend that has been ongoing for well over a decade”. The number of vacant sites fell from 644 to 619, mainly through house building but also new leisure, recreation and green space developments.
“We will continue to work with our partners in the public and private sectors to bring more of these sites back to productive use.”
