When you think of areas like lauriston in glasgow (and many others) which were totally demolished, which could have been refurbed its a real shame.
Could someone who actually lived in a tenement in a single end, room and kitchen whatever with a shared outside toilet explain some of the realities about re housing a population before you get thrown out at the next election.
Yes tenements that could have been refurbished were demolished but others had reached the end of their habitable lives.
East Kilbride I understand was attractive because it offered the fable back and front door , ain garden and even a pub within sort of walking distance along with secondary schools, shops and other facilities such as a ballroom and bowling alley noticeably missing from say Easterhouse.
