FOUR notorious tower blocks in Glasgow are to be pulled down and up to 60 new homes built in their place.

Glasgow Housing Association initially had permission to demolish two of the multi-storey blocks at Tarfside Oval in Cardonald, but has now announced all four are to go.

A spokesman said they had listened to the community and it was clear they wanted all four pulled down.

He said the flats, which have seen a series of police drug raids and a murder in recent years, had become unpopular and expensive to maintain.

They are currently empty with all the tenants rehoused elsewhere.

Glasgow City councillor for Craigton Alistair Watson said it was a triumph for the residents and "one of the occasions when consultation has really worked".

He said: "The local community was totally, 100% behind the complete clearance of the site.

"There were deep-seated issues with crime. The level of crime was worrying people, it was spreading like a cancer. This is a unique opportunity to reinvent the area."

Mr Watson, a local councillor for 20 years, said the flats, which at one time housed around 500 people, had started to decline in the late 1980s.

Developer gets green light to demolish 28 Fifth Ave. home

From left to right: Carol Lavoie, Jerry Turner, his wife Carole, Susan Franklin, and Adrie Von Waardenburg in front of 28 Fifth Avenue which was set for demolition until the Pointe Claire south residents voiced their displeasure.

The fight over the demolition of a 63-year-old bungalow in Pointe Claire south isnt over.

Though the city's demolition committee, comprised of city councillors Aldo Iermieri, Paul Bisonnette, and Jack Beaumont, voted to approve the modified demolition request put forth by developer Les Construction Rogival Inc. to demolish the Fifth Avenue single-family home, resident Peter Bunce told the Chronicle an appeal of the ruling is in order.

This is definitely not finished, said the 29 Bayview St. resident. There are a lot of unhappy residents who want to see this to the end.

Approximately a dozen of Fifth Avenue and Bayview Street residents were previously successful in late July preventing the developer from acquiring a permit to demolish the currently vacated home and subsequently build two homes on the subdivided lot.

Residents argued the home wasnt in a deteriorating state as stated by Luc Vallee, the owner of Les Construction Rogival, adding the addition of two modern homes would ruin the small town charm.

Theres no need to demolish this house, Jerry Turner, of 38 Fifth Avenue, said at the time. Having two homes on this property is not in character of the street.

The demolition committee agreed, denying the permit. Although, the citys planning advisory committee approved of the demolition plan.

An acoustic ceiling that was installed in the old city auditorium at Tuscawilla Park in the 1980s is being torn down to expose the original bow trusses.

We want people to see there is movement going on, said Pamela Calero, the Ocala Symphony Orchestra's executive director. Everything has been approved with the city.

The full renovation to convert the historic building into the Reilly Arts Center and home for the orchestra will not begin until $2.3 million of the $2.6 million fundraising goal is met. So far, the symphony has raised a little over $2 million, all from private donations.

Before the construction can begin in earnest, the symphony board must demonstrate to the city of Ocala, which has agreed to give the symphony a 30-year lease on the building, its financial ability to complete the building renovations. The lease for the city-owned building, which was approved in January, is $1 a year.

We can start construction at $2.3 million. That's kind of our golden number to really make things happen, Calero said.

She said the organization is planning to hold private tours of the facility in hopes of generating interest and support.

We are exposing the really historic architecture of the building, which are the bow trusses, which are beautiful, Calero said.

Catherine Zimmer, assistant city manager of public services, said the orchestra board does have to come up with the renovation money and that the city is working with them.

They are hoping to bring people in there as a fundraiser and show them it's started, Zimmer said. They feel that may elevate some of the fundraising they are doing.
