Glaswegians are being asked for their opinions on designs to revamp the look one of the city's best know streets.

The fire happened in the early hours of this morning

The Avenues project is looking to give priority to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport from Anderston Cross to Trongate, through the 'Heilan Man's Umbrella' and along Argyle Street.

The ÂŁ115 million scheme is funded through the Glasgow City Region City Deal.

This consultation will allow people to give your thoughts on initial designs, and over the course of the weekend, on-street consultation teams will be at various locations along the length of Argyle Street.

Leader of Glasgow City Council, Susan Aitken, said: "The Avenues programme will transform the city centre in the coming years, and is a great example of what will be achieved for Glasgow through the City Deal. The Avenues will deliver a city centre that is better connected, more attractive, and capable of bringing economic growth to residents and businesses."

For those that can't make it to the city centre, the proposals and questionnaire will be available online at www.glasgow.gov.uk/avenues until 13 July
