The block of eight flats was deemed unsafe in 2016 but has yet to be demolished.

The owners of a boarded-up Govanhill tenement that has been under threat of demolition for eight years say they are 'hitting a brick wall' when it comes to saving the building.

The council is now anxiously awaiting updates from the three parties following concerns that the building has deteriorated even further due to the lack of use and maintenance. "People have lost their homes, lost their mortgages - it's depressing and really upsetting. For some owners, it's their source of income as a rental investment so that's been completely lost. On top of that, we're paying all the legal bills.

It's understood that Covea did pay for stabilisation works to be undertaken on the building to allow their experts to assess the damage and decide on the next steps. "We were told to evacuate as the building was unsafe but it's eight years later and it hasn't come down yet. "We have a stalemate situation and no one is doing anything. We're now going to the Scottish Housing Minister and other MSPs in the hopes of reaching a resolution.
