Synopsis

The Wyndford Residents Union is fighting to save their home from one of Scotland’s biggest demolition projects proposed by Wheatley Homes Glasgow. It is largely accepted that demolition and rebuilding have more negative environmental and climate impacts and cost more than retrofitting. Despite this, Glasgow City Council approved Wheatley Homes’s proposal without requiring an Environmental Impact Assessment.
