PLANS to transform an abandoned printworks on the city's South Side into a family play centre are set to move forward after new proposals were submitted.

Glasgow City Council has received a revised application from Spectrum Properties for the former St Andrew’s Cross Electricity Works, originally built in 1899.

It was last used for printing and storage of planning records by the local authority.

The empty category B-listed building, which is on the at risk register, has suffered from vandalism and weather damage, a planning report states.

Planning permission was originally granted for the play centre in November 2018 but a new application has been submitted due to "several changes" to the design.

Activities which would be offered at the centre include foam pits set within an obstacle course, a slide, zip wire and Parkour activity area.

Climbing towers, a trampoline zone and virtual reality, video and arcade games are also planned.

The planning report includes a themed family golf course, baby and toddler play zone, party rooms and a restaurant.

It adds: "After looking at options for a business centre, storage facility, live music venue, indoor market/retail, go-kart racing, Spectrum investigated the possibility of converting the building into a junior/senior/family play complex due to its large and flexible floorplate, together with its location and prominence within the area."

The report notes there has been "extensive damage" to the roof through "neglect and vandalism", with a full replacement required to make the property watertight. It states the project will take a "conservation-led approach" to saving the former printworks.
