New Govan Health Care Building Scrapped

Back in 2007 we posted about the new community Health Care Partnership scheme in Govan. The building, designed by Glasgow Architects GM+AD, was to be located on Craigton road in Govan. It would have been the first "carbon-neutral" building in Scotland to be open to the public. The centre received planning permission in late November, but in December, Glasgow city council decided to scrap the project.

Councillor Elaine McDougall, executive member for social work, said they were 'disappointed' but that the council had to 'act responsibly in the current economic climate'.

I thought public projects would be safe in this economic down turn
