A FORMER Drumchapel community centre is to be demolished this week following a devastating fire.

We previously reported that firefighters worked into the early hours of Sunday morning to extinguish the blaze at the Stonedyke Neighbourhood Community Centre. 

Now, City Property Glasgow (CPG), who own the Belsyde Avenue building, has confirmed work will begin later this week to flatten the site.

"Works should commence on site later this week.”
