guy who lives in broomfield rd told me that the safedem people had told him he'd only be out the house for 2 hours.
he told me last week it was to happen at 10.....so sounds about right

The demolition of 153-213 Petershill Drive is scheduled to take place on
Sunday 10th June 2012. An exclusion zone will be established on the day.

Please note that there are no clear views of the building anywhere
around this exclusion zone.



We recommend that you stay well away from the area on this day.

However, you can still see the demolition happening thanks to our live
video link.

Yes, their flags and banners have been attached to all the buildings for a good long while now.

Not sure when the corner flags went up. I don't have cause to go that way too often these days, other than coming through Barmulloch on my way to work - that time of day I'm too busy dodging death-wish schoolkids to be looking over that way!

Recently we've seen statistics showing Scotland's population, mostly via immigration, is the highest it has ever been at the same time as we had statistics showing housebuilding is at its lowest for years whilst large scale demolition, like at Red Road, goes on.

Does anyone understand what's happening?
I hear the people sing.
