Enjoyable narrative on the project boards, well deserved.

Why couldn't we get something as simple & elegant like this for George Square...oh wait! I remember!

I think we need to stop using George square as an event space and create a new square east of st enochs for events where the car parks are. We could then redevelop the square paving it with Caithness stone and maybe a water feature to make the square a place of tranquility rather than event space. Again other cities se to be more decisive about their public spaces.

The dead hand of corporatism has way to much influence in our city. Billy I think you're right about George Sq but the evidence of the Concert Hall steps/extension of Buchanan Galleries/the mess that passes for St Enoch Sq I think the privatization of public space is the norm in Glasgow (hence the relentless money making 'events' in George Square). Although I would rather see those car parks at Stockwell Street turned into mixed use/high density flats I do think you might be onto something with that idea...at least one of the car parks could be used for an events space.

Thanks Wonky. I too despair of St Enoch Square. It will never have the elegance it once had before when the station was there and before that monstrosity of a building in the south of the Square was built . The old supermarket is an eyesore and should be demolished. Either build something to compliment the Square or open up the square down to the river to create interest on our riverscape at that part of the river. It would be nice to see that part of the river being used in the good weather giving people somewhere to sit. For too long it was a drinking den and thankfully that has changed. I am surprised at businesses not trying to exploit that area for their own profit and more importantly for the benefit of the area. Even in bad weather I would not mind sitting in a bar or restaurant overlooking the river . Be kind of cosy. We can't change the weather so we just have to embrace as best we can. There is a corridor from St Enoch Square down to the river along Clyde st to the Briggait and back up to Glassford Street which should be explored. We are missing a trick. A new Square to the East of the St Enoch would complete this piece of the jigsaw and also draw in the Briggait.
