Councillors have backed a £7.5m bid for lottery funding and Glasgow Life will seek support from public sector funders.
A hunt for funding to restore Glasgow’s People’s Palace is under way, after a £7.5m lottery bid was approved.
Glasgow’s city administration committee approved a £7.5m application to the National Lottery Heritage fund. The future of the venues, originally opened in 1898, has been uncertain, with structural and safety concerns leading to closures. A council report stated “water ingress, plaster damage and ageing mechanical and engineering system” are putting the People’s Palace collection “at risk”.
She told councillors: “These are ambitious proposals and at today’s prices the project is expected to cost £35.9million. The full cost will be known when a comprehensive design and procurement exercise is completed.” He pointed to a recent “successful restoration” of Tollcross Winter Gardens. The official said: “We believe there are loads of new products, tried and tested, especially from the offshore industry, that protect metal components in very harsh environments that we would be able to use.”
