Help for residents
I AGREE Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an important designer, though why aren’t the ordinary householders who live near the site been shown more consideration?
Through no fault of the own their lives have been thrown into chaos and have to cope with the emotional upheaval of moving from place to place without any access to their own homes.

Treatment is shameful
ANNEMARIE O’DONNELL and the rest of Glasgow Council should be ashamed of themselves local people have been treated appallingly.
Get this building demolished immediately and let people have their lives back.

Lives being destroyed
IF the building is in such a dangerous condition then it should be demolished using the quickest means possible.
It should have been down by now.
It seems the problems are being greatly enhanced by dismantling it brick by brick which would be fine if it were not destroying the lives of hundreds of innocent residents, employees and businesses.

Going on far too long
I FEEL so sorry for the residents and traders affected by the cordon following the Glasgow School of Art fire.
The council is forgetting that people’s lives are being seriously impacted by this.
This is more important than preserving a building.
It should just be demolished and let people back into their homes and get back on with their lives.
