Derelict Former DSS Building on Paisley Road West Finally Demolished After Weeks of Clearance
The long-abandoned former DSS/Carr Gomm building on Paisley Road West has now been fully demolished, following several weeks of clearance work that brought an end to more than six years of delays.
The site had become a growing concern for local residents in recent years. People in the area reported frequent incidents of antisocial behaviour around the vacant structure, with groups entering the building and causing disturbances.
Its removal has been welcomed by the community, who described the derelict property as both an eyesore and a safety issue. Locals say the area already feels noticeably improved with the building gone.
With the site now cleared, residents are hopeful that positive redevelopment will follow, bringing new life and opportunity to this part of the neighbourhood.
