'Spider-man' spotted in Glasgow as area turns into New York
American flags and Manhattan road signs have appeared on Bothwell Street as filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to kick off on August 1 on the city centre road. The film, which features Tom Holland as Peter Parker as well as stars like Zendaya, is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and picks up after the dramatic conclusion of No Way Home, where Peter Parker sacrificed his identity to save those he loves. (Image: Pictures taken by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) (Image: Pictures taken by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) As crews worked to build parts of the set today, Spider-man superfan Andrew MacInnes was seen signing Spider-man merch and posing for our photographer, Gordon Terris. He was in crutches and wearing a Spider-man t-shirt as well as a character mask. Known as 'Glasgow's Spider-man' or 'Daft Spidey', Andrew is well-known within the city for his love of the popular superhero. (Image: Pictures taken by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) When dressed as the Marvel character in 2007, Andrew revealed that he jumped off a shed and fractured both heels. On July 4, 2025, during a joint birthday for his 50th birthday and his son's 15th which was a heroes versus villains theme, Andrew jumped off a chair and broke three bones in his foot while again, dressed as Spider-man. He has even got a Spider-man tattoo and claims to be the only man in the world to break his feet twice as Spider-Man. (Image: Pictures taken by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) (Image: Pictures taken by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) The Glasgow Times previously reported that nearly 60 roads will be shut in the city centre to allow for the blockbuster filming. Glasgow City Council confirmed that traffic diversions will be in place and warned that bus and taxi lanes will also be impacted. Delays and congestion are expected, particularly around key commuter routes. For the safety of pedestrians, a prohibition of pedestrian movements will also be enforced during periods of filming action.

Have your say on changes to North Glasgow fire stations
Residents were presented with two options for change yesterday at Balgrayhill Community Centre in Springburn as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) prepares to restructure. In both cases, an extra full-time appliance will be added to the station in Maryhill. Springburn Fire Station (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) However, the first option would also include reducing the number of full-time trucks stationed in Springburn from two to one. And the second option would not affect the building - instead, it would involve Cowcaddens and Govan stations. Deputy Chief Officer Andy Watt explained that removing one truck from Springburn would not change initial response times. But it would mean that the response time of a second appliance would increase by an average of one minute and 25 seconds. On average, the first firetruck would be at the scene of a fire within five minutes and 35 seconds, while the second one would join in seven minutes and four seconds. It was also noted that, according to data from April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, only roughly 30% of calls needed a second vehicle. The meeting in Springburn (Image: Sourced) Have your say about changes to North Glasgow fire stations (Image: Sourced) READ NEXT: Inside the public meetings over 'closure' of Glasgow fire station SFRS representatives assured attendees that the difference would be slight but changes would allow the service to free up nearly £500,000. Residents expressed concerns about what the money would be spent on, to which the officers responded that it would be spread out across Scotland with no specific plans yet. Another issue raised was the landscape of North Glasgow, which includes tenements, Victorian buildings and assisted living facilities, all of which could be at increased risk of fire and make evacuation difficult. One woman noted: "This would put more pressure and responsibility on the businesses to ensure evacuation and fire safety. "The care sector needs huge reassurance." Bob Doris, MSP, for Maryhill and Springburn, added: "We would also need reassurance that you have taken high-rises and disorder, minor fire raising into consideration. "Sites like the Promat factory are at bigger risk." (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Fire officers explained that the review is needed so they can redirect funds for modernisation, training and prevention to respond better to changes such as the climate emergency and industry changes. You are encouraged to share your opinion here. We previously reported that option one would see Cowcaddens fire station rebuilt on Maitland Street, the sale of the current site, and the closure of Yorkhill fire station which currently has one appliance. Option two would see the closure of Cowcaddens at its current site with the land sold off, but they would retain their Maitland Street site for possible future development. Yorkhill would remain open. The SFRS Service Delivery Review consultation will run until September 16, 2025.

Glasgow streets transformed ahead of Spider-Man filming
Filming for the newest instalment of the series is set to take place from August 1.

(Image: Gordon Terris) (Image: Gordon Terris) (Image: Gordon Terris) (Image: Gordon Terris) (Image: Gordon Terris) READ MORE: Spider-Man 4 filming to take over Glasgow city centre this summer Spiderman himself confirmed that Glasgow will be used as a "massive set piece" for the film. He shared: "I'm obviously over the moon and so excited. "Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal, and I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie. "We shot the entire film on stages. "Now we're really gonna lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we're starting in Glasgow. "We are gonna use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together."

New York City tour buses have also been spotted, and several buildings are decorated with American-themed adverts, completing a scene reminiscent of the Big Apple itself. Filming is scheduled to officially begin on August 1, but the shoot will result in widespread disruption for more than two weeks, with road closures, parking bans, and bus lane suspensions in place across the city centre.

Glasgow 'scheme' commemorated with stained glass tribute
Memories of Easterhouse have been captured for a fascinating artwork and publication which explore working-class history in the area. Whose scheme is it anyway? is the name of the Easterhouse Stained Glass Window, one of 10 which will form a trail around the city as part of its 850th anniversary celebrations. The group members with the new window (Image: GordonTerris/Newsquest) Led by Platform in partnership with Glasgow Life Libraries, the latest window has been created by members of the Easterhouse Living Archive group and artists Keira McLean and Joey Simons. Members of the group working on the window (Image: Platform) A mutual passion for working class history, archives and sharing stories led to the formation of the Easterhouse Living Archive group, who have spent the last six months talking, writing, researching, drawing, moulding, cutting and shaping – with the support of Keira and the team at RDW Glass Studios in Dennistoun - to create a lasting tribute to the community. (Image: GordonTerris/Newsquest) The new window includes archival material, original artwork and thought provoking personal experience, bringing together fascinating elements from the history of Easterhouse and the north east of Glasgow, asking the question: 'Whose scheme is it anyway?' A publication, edited by Joey Simons, accompanies the window, drawing together original writing and discoveries made by the group in the course of the project. It is available to browse alongside the window which will form part of a permanent display within the Easterhouse library. Keira said: 'The Easterhouse Living Archive project has brought together people of all ages and backgrounds to learn the craft of stained glass and celebrate the working class heritage of Glasgow North East. (Image: GordonTerris/Newsquest) 'Some of the imagery and stories on display in the window were discovered in the archives and offered a starting point for conversations, leading to the sharing of personal memories and experiences - highlighting fascinating elements of the history of Easterhouse and Glasgow North East.' She added: 'These histories of resistance and survival feel more relevant than ever. We are here and we want to live … 'As Glasgow celebrates its 850th anniversary, we hope the window places the people back at the centre of the city's story.' In the introduction to the publication, Keira and Joey point out that Glasgow was once the 'stained glass capital of Europe, housing the best studios and artists.' They add: 'It was everywhere: homes, municipal buildings, hospitals, shops, libraries. Much has been lost or destroyed. 'Its production was often the result of colonial wealth and its subject matter rarely depicted ordinary lives or working-class histories. 'The Easterhouse stained-glass window will now stand as an ever-changing testament to an ever-changing community.' In the publication, Brenda Gilmour recalls the Sugarolly Mountains – piles of debris (of questionable safety) left over from nearby factory works, which local children turned into an adventure playground. 'I went up the Sugarolly mountains, by the Cranhill flats near the canal,' she says. 'I did it a couple of times, climbing up and sliding down, even though I was fearty. I went home completely black and got a row.' Fiona Doyle recalls that in the 60s and 70s, a number of vans visited Easterhouse. 'There were grocery vans, fruit and veg fans, even a fish and chip van," she says. "There was a hairdresser van that was parked at the top of Bellrock Street … and on a Sunday night the Dalziel van came – it sold rolls and bags of broken biscuits.' Lynn Freebairn, one of the participants of the project, said: 'Although I was new to the community and didn't know too much about the history of Easterhouse, I was made to feel extremely welcome and it was a lovely way to be introduced to the area and its history. 'I was able to create three pieces of glass that will be displayed in the window, and I feel privileged to have been invited to be part of it.'
