The deal is part of a wider regeneration project for the East End land
Plans to turn B-listed sheds on the former Meat Market site into sports facilities and offices will create a “fantastic asset” for the area, a local councillor has said.
Once the sheds have been refurbished, community sports facilities, bookable office space and, possibly, retail opportunities will be provided. “To have new and old together is the ideal situation. It’s good that this is going ahead and it will become an asset for the Calton ward, and particularly for the new residents in the area.”
“This extensive site has been unused since the early 2000s creating a barrier to movement within the locality and thus hindering access to services and opportunities in the city centre and wider East End.” These are the Meat Market Regeneration CIC and Meat Market Heritage Trust SCIO. The trust applied for the lease under the council’s People Make Glasgow Communities programmes, which allows local organisations to take over the management of council venues.
