Campaigners to fight city square statue removal plan

CAMPAIGNERS have vowed to vehemently oppose the removal of historic statues from one of Scotland's major civic squares unless assurances are given on their future.

All 12 statues, some almost 200 years old, will be taken from Glasgow's George Square in the coming months as part of a £15 million plan to revamp the area, with the first phase completed in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
