NO replacement homes have yet been built on the site of the demolished Red Road flats and another razed plot in Sighthill after a decade, a councillor has pointed out.
The politician said he and other tenants had to leave their flats at Sighthill’s 32 Pinkston Drive 11 years ago and “not a brick had been laid for the promised new social housing on that part of the site".Pointing out a similar situation at Red Road, he said: “Likewise the Red Road flats were demolished 10 years ago – there has been slow progress and a lack of information coming to communities.
Speaking at the economy, housing transport and regeneration city policy committee, he said: “I arrived in Glasgow 20 years ago – I was able to get a flat and therefore settle. If I arrived today I may have problems doing that.” Highlighting work that has taken place in the Sighthill area, he said: “Lots of good stuff has been done there – the new school campus, new St Rollox church and new youth centre – plus the footbridge and road reconnecting Sighthill with the city centre.
