Small business owners at a shopping centre in Easterhouse have said they feel like they are being 'pushed out' by their landlord and fear the impact possible closures could have on the local community.
Traders in The Lochs shopping centre staged a protest on Wednesday over their treatment by City Property who they say are 'hassling them for vast sums of money' but failing to invest in the centre or fix outstanding issues including a broken heating system.
Businesses that have been part of the centre for nearly two decades are facing going out of business due to rent arrears accumulated during covid, rising operating costs and a decline in footfall.
