Glencairn Tower to fall November 20th


The date has been set for the 1964, 17 storey Glencairn Tower to fall. On November 20th Technical Demolition Services will drop the flats from the skyline of Motherwell and bring to an end a project whose costs have escalated.

The original contract price was £703,400, but the survey carried out failed to identify asbestos throughout the tower adding a further £380,000. Scottish Power has also submitted a bill for £87,400 due to a need to re-route a power cable.

No details have been made available as to exactly when the demolition will occur, but we hope cameras will be setup to capture the event.
