Plans to give Glasgow's George Square a "facelift" have been approved by councillors, two months after a major redevelopment was controversially scrapped.
An architectural design competition to revamp the area, which cost £15 million, collapsed in January when city council leader Gordon Matheson abandoned the plans in the face of public opposition.
Approved by the council's executive committee, the new scheme will cost £500,000 and see the 13 statues remain in the square, with its grassed areas expanded and the red tarmac replaced.
