Continue reading 2026 Scottish Parliament Election Dates, Candidates and Party Information for DennistounDennistoun Community Council (DCC) aims to ascertain, coordinate and express the views of our community, and seeks to promote Dennistoun as a positive and inclusive neighbourhood.
Instead of holding a hustings for the Scottish Parliament elections on 7th May 2026, we sent (on Saturday 18th April) the following questions to each candidate in the Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn and Glasgow Central constituencies, both of which cover areas within the DCC boundary. These questions were also put to each party with a candidate on the Glasgow Region list, within which the DCC area sits wholly.
(Question provided by Save Whitehill Pool, DCC associate member.)
Almost on a daily basis we read reports about the decline of physical and mental health across the country. Swimming is an activity accessible to all that has proven health benefits, yet the number of pools in Glasgow and beyond is in steady decline.
Cost of living pressures are severe for many people who live in our area. Recent fire and damage we’ve seen in the city centre has been highly concerning.
Accessible, affordable and safe mobility is essential for enabling people and businesses to thrive. Dennistoun is a densely populated inner city neighbourhood within Glasgow, the largest urban area in Scotland. Yet neither are fulfilling their potential: many residents face significant connectivity challenges, with local and citywide transport options falling short of what is needed.
Best efforts were made to contact each candidate and party using publicly available points of contact.
Answers were requested to be supplied no later than Friday 24th April.
We will publish all replies here on our website (and share via DCC social media) in due course.
