A filming grant intended for the Batgirl production in Glasgow should be paid out to businesses forced to endure road closures and a drop in footfall for the now axed film, it has been suggested.

The council has now confirmed the grant has still not been paid to Warner Bros and discussions are ongoing with producers. Mr Williams said that the severity of the disruption was not communicated properly to the businesses in the area. She added: “There was a generator for a few days during that period just running non-stop with fumes just coming in. It got really hard for us to work and to keep the door open.“We had to lay off our team here, we tried to give them as many hours as we could at our other location but obviously there were limited opportunities for us to give them the same type of hours that they would have.
Speaking about Batgirl not being released, owner Kerriann Angus said: “I was a bit disappointed to hear that, especially because so much money has gone into it.
