In advance of recent articles about Dennistoun Community Council’s Public Meeting, DCC was contacted by The Evening Times to clarify who was invited to our Public Meeting on Thursday 17th January 2019.
Our comments and attributable quotes made clear the circumstances around meeting invitations but they were not used by the journalist.
Thank you to the more than 250 community members who joined DCC’s Public Meeting to save Haghill and Dennistoun leisure facilities from potential cuts. BoltFM‘s full unedited meeting footage is now online. View below or via this link.

DCC will be holding a public meeting to discuss potential leisure facility closures, from 7-9pm, on Thursday 17th January 2019, at Whitehill Secondary School Auditorium, 280 Onslow Drive, G31 2QF.
These draft notes are published with the intention of sharing and feeding information back to the public as fully and as quickly as possible. They were taken at the Dennistoun Community Council (DCC) meeting held on Tuesday 8th January 2019 at Dennistoun Library, 2a Craigpark, Dennistoun G31 2NA from 7pm, providing an indication of the topics discussed and opinions heard under agenda item ‘7a – Public Input – Local Leisure Amenities‘.
There have been news reports, social media discussion, and an online petition relating to a leaked report about an apparent costings exercise carried out by Glasgow City Council. This is said to include consideration of the closure of leisure facilities across Glasgow, with Whitehill Pool and Leisure Centre among the facilities identified for potential closure.
You are warmly invited to attend the next ordinary meeting of Dennistoun Community Council, which will take place on Tuesday 8th January 2019 from 7pm at Dennistoun Library, 2a Craigpark, G31 2NA. Time will be allocated for general public input. Full agenda available here. Full list of 2019 meetings here.
