A vape and phone repair shop is preparing to open beside the Mackintosh Tearooms, the last surviving tearoom designed by architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, prompting fire-safety objections from heritage campaigners and local politicians. The concern follows a vape shop blaze that destroyed the B-listed Union Corner building six months ago and two fires at the Mackintosh-designed Glasgow School of Art (a celebrated art school building, gutted in 2014 and 2018). Glasgow city council says the unit already had shop permission and Scotland has no licensing system for vape shops, while the Scottish government says local planning decisions rest with councils, leaving calls for tighter regulation unresolved.
