THE people of Pollok, and beyond, are pleading for the new potential owners of Silverburn to bring a Primark store to the shopping centre.

We previously reported that the current owners are in talks over the sale of the centre for around £140 million.

Silverburn was bought for around £300 million by Hammerson in 2009.

With the talks of a potential sale, we asked our readers: "What would you like the new owners to do with Silverburn Shopping Centre if it is sold?" 

More than 110 people responded, with the majority of those asking for a Primark store.

Adele MacDuff said: "Primark and a spoons type of restaurant."

Michele Farrell suggested: "Primark and a pound shop."

Christopher Hamill wrote: "Shops that aren't aimed at the upper-middle class. Pollok is working class. The shops should reflect that."

Carole Sabah added: "Make the old Debenhams a Primark, and a decent wee pub grub restaurant/bar."

Meanwhile, several others said they would like the centre to be renamed the "Pollok Centre".

Glasgow Times:

Silverburn is built on land that was previously the Pollok Centre, which was built in the 1970s.

Other suggestions included a pound shop.

Marie Lehane said: "Primark, Iceland, Farmfoods, pound shop. Take a look at the old photos of Pollok Centre to get ideas."

Leigh Granger joked: "I don’t think anyone has mentioned this but we all need a primark. Aw and a wee pound shop, thanks."
