Queen’s Park Glasshouse to ‘remain open for foreseeable future’

Bailie Soryia Siddique, Labour, who represents Southside Central, said there remained a lack of detail about the glasshouse’s future.

She said: “Residents deserve open, honest and transparent communication about the next steps, alongside a clear commitment on the funding needed to protect and restore this much-loved part of Glasgow’s heritage.”

Glasgow Greens co-leader Jon Molyneux asked for a time limit on questions to be suspended for the glasshouse issue due to the public interest in the building, but his motion fell.

He wanted more detail on what the SNP’s announcement means in practice, including how the “operational arrangements” would work.

Doherty said her door was open to anyone who wanted to have further discussions on the glasshouse.

After the decision to reverse the closure was announced, Mhairi Hunter, SNP, councillor for Southside Central, said: “The engagement and passion shown by campaigners… has played a vital role in getting us to this point, and I thank campaigners for all their hard work.”
