Save Whitehill Pool Campaign Launch and Fundraiser

Save Whitehill Pool Campaign are hosting a launch night and fundraiser on Friday 19th September from 7pm until 11pm at St Rollox Bowling Club, 63 Kennyhill Square, Dennistoun, Glasgow G31 3LL.

This will be a great chance for you to come along, connect with other neighbours who are passionate about getting the pool re-opened, and really get the campaign on its feet again.

There’ll be food for all, plus local DJs, and bands planned also. First confirmed DJ is Michael Rooney, who’ll be bringing the Northern Soul! And there’s a raffle planned, too!

Last but not least, you’ll get a chance to hear from the Save Whitehill Pool campaign group and Living Rent members on where the campaign is at, and how you can get more involved!

It’ll be a great community night out, get yourself, your family and your friends a ticket and see the autumn in by getting the Save Whitehill Pool campaign back up to full power!

Statement on Food Waste Bins

A PDF version of this statement is available here.

Letters were received by some Dennistoun residents (see attached photos) relating to the food waste collection in flats, which seemed even vaguer than letters that have also just come out recently in Dennistoun around bins being moved from back courts out on to the streets. This one states “Your food waste bin has been removed from the bin area due to health and safety reasons (i.e. persistent contamination or unsafe for our collection crews to empty the bins from your property).” No dates were given, nor any point of contact.
