Submission Documents: By Councillor Maureen Burke:- "Council notes, with dismay, the recent fire at the Glasgow School of Art. Council recognises that the Glasgow School of Art is one of Glasgow's five higher education institutions, all of which have international reputations of excellence and innovation. The Glasgow School of Art is specifically recognised as one of Europe's leading institutions for visual creative disciplines. Council further recognises that the fire in the Mackintosh Building has had and will continue to significantly affect the surrounding Sauchiehall Street area, and that this is the second fire to impact Sauchiehall Street in this way this year. Council believes that the Mackintosh Building is an iconic piece of world architectural heritage and a globally recognised symbol of Glasgow; that the Glasgow School of Art is one of Glasgow's great institutions and has played a key role in the cultural and economic renaissance of our city; and further believes that the innovative and creative spirit of the School of Art will be vital to Glasgow's continued cultural and economic growth in the years to come. Council therefore resolves to pay tribute to those emergency responders who bravely battled the blaze; to join calls for an inquiry into the cause of the fire to prevent such damage happening again; and to draw up an urgent action plan to support businesses and the city centre economy."
