MODEST plans to redevelop Glasgow's George Square have been approved, as the city's council leader moved to fend off further criticism of his role in the debacle surrounding the collapse of the £15 million redesign competition.
Gordon Matheson said he disagreed with the tone of publicised criticism of his role in the competition from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS), which claimed he was at the heart of a debacle that brought the city into significant disrepute, cost taxpayers £100,000 and architectural practices a further £200,000.
