And it looks like we can add another attempted murder to that tally... Shut it down now.

Pete, you must be a Labour councillor. This incident, in an open public place, happened at [bold]17.45[/bold] . Paddy's Market operates from [bold]7.30 to 14.00[/bold] . So how do you conclude that it's the fault of Paddy's Market that this happened? It like saying if the same thing happened in Buchanan Street, the Buchanan Galleries would need to close. This is the kind of warped illogic that is costing 80 people their livelihoods. Shame on you.

If there are 80 people working there, why did only 40 show up? Or were there more than that? 50% of the people protesting doesn't show overwhelming support...

Pete, your a moron. Is there not some hostel round the corner from it as well. The crimes are nowt to do with the stall holders. I'm sure when they've knocked it down and built some 'luxury' property. these criminals will go away. NOT! - passed by a 'luxury' flat in clyde street that had a sign on the entrance warning about junkies using the close for shooting up. This si the city we live in. Not paddys markets fault but the people who run the city i'm afraid.

So would it not have been shut anyway so the remaining people could have joined in the protest. Or was it in fact opened for business as usual?

Try and run this whole argument past the guy who got beaten up on Shipbank Lane the other night. That is just going to fuel the council's argument even more that Paddy's has got to go.....

I passed by and it was open as usual. Looks like the police were super-efficient in processing the scene. But it comes back to the point that information has to be taken in context not by mere association and jumping to erroneous conclusions

Everyone accepts (including the Paddy's Market stallholders) that the area has to change. But I can tell you that there isn't one stallholder in Paddy's Market who deals in drugs. Yes, there is drug dealing in the locality thanks to the presence of Hope House. But, here's a crucial question......where'

Paddy's Market is an eyesoar the city can do without.
There is no need for this type of market in the city centre. There are plenty of car boot sales now.
In the old days the market served a purpose for the hawkers to sell their goods. They carried them in big bundles on their backs to paddy's market. Those days are passed now and in the past they must remain
I voted SNP and surprised the SNP supports this eyesoar. Without is the whole area could be opened up and create many more jobs. We need a thriving River City down there.
PS I would also support a relocation of the Barras

Tony, I agree with most of what you are saying - however, with regards the analogy that Glasgow Central Station should therefore be closed down as it has the biggest crime statistics in the city; while this area has the highest crime numbers, it also has a much larger number of people through its streets... possibly the largest in the city? Inevitably, it would have a larger crime statistics.
I don't think the argument would hold up if you take the crime in relation to public footfall through the area.

I read all the comments with some interest, I can only say I look forward to the Barras, Blochairn, and Polmadie also being closed if crime is a main factor, these places are riddle with counterfeit goods and criminality. As for drugs and robbery, as someone else has said, Central Station should go. It is sad to see our lovely city being turned into a derelict landscape of corporate builds and fascia that are totally in appropriate. I guess the traders don't fit into the plans of regeneration, and that is it, to tar them with the brush of criminality is wrong. If a heroin dealer lives next door to you, it does not make you a bad person or a dealer, to extend this courtesy to the people of Paddy's would be nice.

Most major cities in the world have markets, some of them akin to the 'Paddy's' type.
For those who don't actually visit Paddy's Market, let me tell you that the goods on sale can be bought almost anywhere. The actual thrill is in visiting a flea market to get the character and local colour of bygone days.
Can I float an idea? Why don't we allow stallholders to use the Clydeside at Glasgow Green near the old Templeton's carpet factory/museum area.
A tented stall market would attract many people and the stallholders would probably do more business. Those stallholders who sell second hand stuff would probably be better off at The Barras anyway.
Glasgow needs its characters...and its markets!

The problem with paddy's is it is an eyesore and also it's location. Also I have witnessed first hand people freely taking drugs there and other less than desirable things going on.
While it is traditional to have markets it is not traditional to have drug taking and crime happening at them, this is not the reason that they were established after all.
The most sensible soulution would be to relocate it and allow the area to be regenerated, after all the rest of the riverside is being regenerated and this area sticks out becuase it is shabby and rundown and badly in need of improvement.

Over this past decade, as in many other famous street markets across the UK, rents for stalls in The Barras have risen steeply, pretty much in relation to land and housing prices, making them way beyond the reach of Almost anyone considering dealing in 2nd hand [italic]Anything[/italic]

Most major cities in the world have markets, some of them akin to the 'Paddy's' type. For those who don't actually visit Paddy's Market, let me tell you that the goods on sale can be bought almost anywhere. The actual thrill is in visiting a flea market to get the character and local colour of bygone days. Can I float an idea? Why don't we allow stallholders to use the Clydeside at Glasgow Green near the old Templeton's carpet factory/museum area. A tented stall market would attract many people and the stallholders would probably do more business. Those stallholders who sell second hand stuff would probably be better off at The Barras anyway. Glasgow needs its characters...and its markets!
Totally agree with you about Glasgow Needing
its characters...and its markets!
However, when it comes to anyone being
better off at The Barras
then I have to Disagree.

Not to worry - there is a roaring trade in setting up pound shops in Argyle Street and Trongate.....that could be lucrative thing for these traders to get into LOL.

With purcell and Ryans involvement in the whole affair you can clearly see it is or was(pre slump) going to be sold of to a housing developer or mall builder.
They both got their fingers burnt in Glasgow East by that.
