Traders have accused the landlord of leaving them without heating and have staged a walkout to demand action to save businesses.
Small business owners at a shopping centre in Easterhouse have said they feel like they are being 'pushed out' by their landlord and fear the impact possible closures could have on the local community.
Shelley Quinn, who runs Wee Betty's cafe with her sister, said the shopping centre is more like a community centre for locals. "The centre is just being run into the ground. The heating system stopped working and was condemned in February so we haven't got any heating. The place is freezing. The way we're being treated is a disgrace. There are businesses that have already been forced to close and there will be more if things don't change. We're all struggling.
As with most businesses across the country, traders at The Lochs were forced to close during the pandemic. During the lockdowns, owners were given a deferment on rent payments by the landlord City Property. "Myself and my business partner have approached the landlords with a proposal for paying the outstanding balance over three years but they won't let us and are demanding it's paid within months.
