An iconic structure in the heart of Glasgow's East End is due to be redeveloped and the public has been invited to have their say.

The Bellgrove Meat Market, which was closed in 2001, is the latest location to be looked at as part of the wider Collegelands Calton Barras regeneration project.

Glasgow City Council will be submitting a planning application for the Bellgrove Abattoir in 2018 with a view to completing the redevelopment by 2025.

Initial notes suggest a 'mixed use development' including new homes, commercial units, office space, hotel and student accommodation.

Bosses have promised "to give the iconic B-listed Meat Market sheds a radical yet respectful new setting".

Adding; “The open space surrounding the shed allows it to be seen in a new light and also offer its presence to Bellgrove Street.

"The primary access road is aligned to offer a glimpse of the shed from Duke Street, respect is also shown to the former Duke Street Hospital as it is re-invented as the terminus of a street, a nod to the historic street patterns of the close-by Merchant City.”

The Masterplan, which includes Saltmarket, Duke Street, Bellgrove Street, Abercrombie Street and Glasgow Green, has been given a budget of £27 million.

A public event to show the proposed works was held on December 2017 at Dennistoun Library.

A follow on public event to show the further developed Masterplan will take place on March 1 between 12pm and 8pm at Dennistoun Library with locals being given the opportunity to comment on the proposals.

Comments can be submitted to Collegelands Calton Barras by email and formal comments can be made once an application for Planning Permission in Principle has been submitted.

As previously reported by the Evening Times, work on the Calton Barras Action Plan’s kicked off in January.

Since beginning in late 2012, a number of projects, including the upgrading of more than 70 shopfronts and the installation of Barrowland Park, which houses Jim Lambie’s Album Pathway, have been completed from the ‘masterplan’.
