Categorised under the topic of Leisure.

That this House notes with concern the sale of Park Quadrant by Glasgow City Council to Expresso Properties, who intend to build 98 new flats on the site; understands that over 160 objections to the proposed development have been received by Glasgow City Council's Planning Department; further understands that an objection to the proposals was lodged on behalf of the German government due to the potential negative impact of the proposed development on the cultural activities of the Goethe-Institut, which is located in nearby Park Circus; believes that heritage sites such as Park Quadrant should be preserved for the benefit of the local community; and calls on Glasgow City Council to consider alternative development options for the Park Quadrant site.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
