Any chance we could at least get the bins out of the middle of the pavments?

Radical suggestion - raze it to the ground and build a great swimming pool (with many, many flumes) C'mon GCC, it'll only cost a few million and we'd love it dearly.

The arcade is an eyesore and the shops surrounding it and either empty or scruffy;but there is also so much potential- nice delis, bars and restaurants, health food shops, Nuala Ashe etc If we were to invest in new quality shops in Shawlands, the out of town shopping centres will not be competition as they will be appealling to a different market.

The previous shopping centre provided the local community with good quality Shops and a Hotel but sadly becaame run-down and it closed.
However news of redevelopment offered the opportunity for a new centre with good facilities but the resultant scheme has not been successful and more shops are now vacant than are occupied - is there some hidden agenda for this site

On my visits to the area I have become particularly concerned about the run down and tired looking Arcade.

I remember its halcyon days when thriving businesses served the local community -Fergusons; Galloways; Malcolm Campbell and City Bakery to name a few.

They were different times with fewer cars and no out of town centres but surely some consultation and sensible planning must take place to preserve the area.

However the location is ideal for a well-designed shopping area. This could enhance the area, raise house prices and build more community spirit.

For example, if built around a square it would have a 'town centre' feel, and events could be held there at times like Christmas.

If it was well-planned and attractive more shops or other businesses (e.g. a hotel) would want to open there and more shoppers would want to go there.

If it appears shops, businesses and social/leisure amenities are under threat it will seriously affect the economical and social development of the area. Therefore, it is imperative that local residents and businesses are consulted with regard to any plans that may be proposed.

Shawlands had a good reputation for shopping but now any empty premises is used for bars and fast food businessess. Which accounts for the increasing amount of litter on the side streets. This leaves Shawlands as a place to go for a night out. Residents deserve a balance of retail and entertainment and at the moment entertainment is definately on the rise and will probably increase.
