Whitehill Pool Working Group

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting to revitalise the Save Whitehill Pool campaign last night.

Bill Stark chaired, welcoming new faces and introducing people who provided valuable support back in the early years of the original campaign.

The meeting itself provided great community input, in terms of personal experiences, and hopes for the future over the current closure of Whitehill Pool.

Whitehill Pool Follow-up Meeting

We're still here! Save Whitehill Pool. — We’re still here! Save Whitehill Pool.

Dennistoun Community Council is following up on our recent public meeting about Whitehill Pool with a community-only meeting for people who’d like to be actively involved with the campaign to save the pool.

Whitehill Pool Meeting Summary

Summary

Last night’s meeting to address uncertainties about Whitehill Pool was productive.

Thank you to all members of the public who attended and contributed. The comments and questions left no doubt about how important the pool is to our community.

There is clearly no easy fix as significant capital funding is required.

Commitments

Glasgow Life gave several commitments:

They will improve communication and supply Dennistoun Community Council with monthly progress updates, leading to a Glasgow Life report presenting approximately 4-6 options to Glasgow City Council, to be completed by August.
They will liaise with swimming clubs about the possibility of supplying a bus service to other pools while Whitehill is closed.
There will be no further imposition of items such as the hated metal fence, without consultation. The exception would be if something was urgently required for safety reasons.

It was reiterated that Glasgow Life cannot opt for permanent closure of the pool: to do that would require councillors voting to do so.
