Mack cordon could be lifted in 2 weeks

Glasgow School of Art (GSA) have flagged the security cordon around the fire-ravaged Mackintosh Building could be reduced in two weeks as stabilisation work progresses.

Flames tore through the Charles Rennie Mackintoshdesigned building on 15 June.

The blaze has had a big impact on the local Garnethill community, with locals and businesses unable to access their properties while the building is unsafe.

GSA said the east gable of the Mackintosh Building is within two weeks of stabilisation.
