Hundreds in fight to save church that beat the Blitz
Hundreds of people are fighting to stop a historic church being bulldozed. Our Lady of Loreto RC Church in Dalmuir, Clydebank - which survived the Blitz in 1941 - closed this year.People in the town now fear the 1903 building, one of the area's most prominent landmarks, will be knocked down.
The Archdiocese of Glasgow has obtained a building warrant from West Dunbartonshire Council which allows the demolition to go ahead.
MSP Des McNulty has raised the matter at the Scottish Parliament and won the support of his colleagues in retaining the building.
