Butcher closes

Docherty Brothers butchers of 44 Clarendon Place is to close after more than 50 years trading.

This means that Woodside will now be without a traditional European style butcher shop, although pre-packed or frozen meats are still available locally in retailers such as Lidl and Iceland in Maryhill Road.

The vacated premises at 44-46 Clarendon Place were granted a bookmakers license on 31st March in response to an application by Ladbrokes plc.

They are now the subject of a planning application for change of use to a betting shop, which should be decided in April or May 2006.
