South side residents have raised further concerns over plans to turn a shopping arcade into a new housing development.
Tenant's union Living Rent believes the plans to redevelop Shawlands Arcade into hundreds of apartments will fail to serve the needs of the community due to its lack of social housing or affordable homes included in the plans. They fear the development will further push up rents in the area and force out working-class members of the community.
The group is calling for the £150 million redevelopment to include at least 25 per cent social housing, and some community space that is accessible to local residents.
