Games plan boosted by hotel move

THE ambitious plan to regenerate swathes of Glasgow through the Commonwealth Games has been given a major vote of confidence with a scheme for a major hotel, restaurants and retail facilities in the heart of the city's east end.

The plan will include a 160-bedroom, mid-range hotel alongside the new National Indoor Sports Arena (Nisa) and Velodrome facing Celtic Park, with a supermarket and several well-known food outlets also setting up shop.

A formal notice has been submitted to Glasgow City Council with a statutory public consultation about to commence. A formal application will follow.
