Save the ABC on Sauchiehall Street

Lodged by Pauline McNeill (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 11 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes what it sees as the lack of progress in developing the site of the former ABC on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, which was destroyed as a result of the 2017 Glasgow School of Art fire; believes that efforts to gain permission to have the site cleared for rebuilding work have so far been unsuccessful; understands that, before the fire, the ABC was an important music venue, which greatly contributed to Glasgow’s status as a world music heritage city; is concerned that time is running out for the site to be retained as a first-class music venue, and calls on Glasgow City Council, Glasgow School of Art and the owners of the site to work together to ensure the return of this iconic music venue.
