A decision not to reinstate missing items on George Square military figures statues has been made by council officials - after they deemed them as "inappropriate". ‌

At a recent committee meeting, concerns were raised by councillor Graham Campbell who doesn’t believe the city should be celebrating those who promoted slavery and oppressed others. It comes as a paper on the redevelopment of the area, which is part of the Avenues project, advised elected members on the improvements to the city’s most important civic square. ‌

The proposals look to install sensory “play” areas, new seating and picnic stations, upgrade all surfaces, incorporate feature lighting and flexible event spaces as well as restore and conserve the statues and monuments. ‌
