Town hall submits plans to demolish black box and Telegraph House
Plans have been submitted to demolish the bus station and ‘Black Box’ in the town centre.
The council has put together proposals to tear down the two buildings as well as Telegraph House.
The applications, submitted last week, are part of the wider £100m redevelopment of the town centre and comes following the completion of the new council offices.
According to the application the seven-storey Telegraph House, on Baillie Street, will be stripped and have asbestos removed before being demolished to ground level.
And the demolition of the 15-floored Black Box, which is used by existing council staff, would also include the removal of the enclosed footbridge linking the Municipal Offices to The Wheatsheaf Centre.
Once all three buildings have been demolished they must be left clear and tidy for redevelopment.
