Famous streets, such as Sauchiehall Street, will never bounce back.
The street looked bad enough before the pandemic with huge empty stores, such as the old BHS.
I can’t imagine many retailers rushing back to fill massive units like that any time soon.
The council will have to seriously think out of the box about how to ensure the street doesn’t become a no-go area.
Perhaps more green spaces could help.
Demolishing the BHS store and making a multi-use space for markets and outdoor events could help transform the street and encourage more investment.
