A ban on the demolition of buildings in Glasgow and tighter restrictions on short term lets are among the promises in the SNP’s election manifesto for the city.
The party launched a 98 page document outlining pledges if they once again win control of the council on May 5. The nationalist group, who are fielding 50 candidates, say they will introduce a new stricter licensing scheme for short-term lets as well as introduce a ‘built heritage commission’ to better protect old buildings.
Among a broad range of policies, the manifesto promises to “introduce a presumption in favour of refurbishment and retrofitting rather than demolition of existing buildings.”
