Surely an A-bomb would be cheaper.
It would bring zillions of pounds of improvement to the area.

When they built these "new towns" they should have installed new management systems instead of the "old" cooncil set up.But I have to say I've been to worse places.

Of course, that probably would have saved millions but maybe that would have been seen as way too logical - its better to fcuk the place up rather than make it better, as that how it turned out - Glasgow isn't just about the town and the west end, there's a whole load of other places, some wouldn't even venture into.
Springburn was turned into a hole, being in Kirky, you would have saw its demise going from bustling town to shanty town.
I remember when I was younger - Jan 1987 - people in EK were locked in for over a week with 3 to 4 feet of snow, higher in some other places - it is likely that could happen again - and it was probably the same for Cumbernauld. I've never been a big fan of these places, but I reckon most of the dudes responsible for its creation were probably drug induced - designing space age s h i t e on Acid.

Didn't the trams come all the way out to Bishy Cross?
As for EK and the snow yeah tell me about it. I think I was working there at that time. A place called Brancumhall.
