Glasgow Life committed to having fully costed options for Whitehill Pool ready by August. This has now been pushed back to November. We've been told this is because the council's Capital Funding committee now won't discuss until then. So a public commitment to Dennistoun is ignored.

We continue to ask for more specific information about the traffic regulation order that's being proposed for Dennistoun. We have been told there will be a full public consultation at a later stage. 5/5

We're going to ask what plans will be in place when the Alexandra Park Sports Hub passed back to Glasgow Life in January. 4/5

We're asking for greater clarity for the minutes taken at the Area Partnership meetings, which we feel don't supply nearly enough information. 3/5

We're reporting owners of properties who've let their hedges grow to the point where they're obstructing the pavements. 2/5

From last night's meeting of Dennistoun Community Council:
1. We're contacting elected officials about Glasgow Life's not honouring a commitment to provide information and asking why providing fully costed options for Whitehill Pool has been pushed back from August to November. 1/5

Dennistoun Community Council meets tonight at 7pm in the hall at St Andrews East church, 685 Alexandra Parade, G31 3LN. Public welcome, and topics on the agenda include Whitehill Poll and the lack of community facilities in the area.

Save Whitehill Pool relaunches with a fundraiser on Friday September 19th.

If you'd like further information about the bus policy Better Buses Glasgow are holding a public meeting on Thursday 22 May 2025, at 7pm
STUC Offices, 8 Landressy St, Bridgeton, G40 1BP (a few mins from Bridgeton station, buses 18, 46, 64, 263)

SPT has produced a consultation document about the future of bus services in the Strathclyde region. It's accessible at www.spt.co.uk/media/qcxp4q.... A survey is also online at systraltd.welcomesyourfeedback.net/s/SRBS-draft It closes on May 29th.

This month's meeting of DCC discussed the ongoing closure of Whitehill, problems with the Haghill bin hubs, the more recent closure of the Alexandra Parade Sports Hub and new people needed to run the Reidvale Community Centre. We will follow up on all, and there's also ongoing action on flytipping.

It's planned that officials from the Council's cleansing department attend Tuesday's DCC meeting. There should be an update on the Haghill bin pilot, but are there any other issues that should be raised?

Image of poster headed with the phrase "We're still here!", including an illustration of people attempting to break into a giant piggy bank.

Thanks to everyone who attended last night's meeting to revitalise the Save Whitehill Pool campaign. Great community input!
A new Working Group will be established to identify a strategy for the way ahead, including core aims, and increased community involvement.

A follow-up community-only meeting, for those who’d like to be actively involved with the campaign to save the pool will be held on Tue 29 Apr, from 7pm, upstairs at the Reidvale Centre, 13 Whitevale St, G31 1QW.

DCC is holding a community only meeting for people who'd like to be actively involved with the campaign to save Whitehill Pool. At Reidvale Neighbourhood Centre, 13 Whitevale Street, Glasgow G31 1QW on Tuesday April 29th at 7pm, but this time in the smaller first floor room.

We're delighted to announce we've manage to arrange for extra organic waste recycling bins for Dennistoun, which for the last nine months or so has only had one outside Haghill. There are now several on Reidvale Street and Bellgrove, and those removed from Whitehill Pool and Craigpark are back.

There's also a commitment to better communication with both DCC and the wider community via regular updates, no matter how small the progress, and unless required for safety reasons there will be no further changes such as the metal fence without consultation. 2/2

Productive meeting last night with members of the community, elected officials and Glasgow Life over the future of Whitehill Pool. There is no easy fix, as massive capital investment is required, but we have a commitment that a viable set of proposals will be prepared by August. 1/2

2 local councillors won't support a crossing on Alexandra Parade at Whitehill St. Council Officers consider it unnecessary, and councillors believe contradicting the "professional" opinion breaches their Code of Conduct about involvement in operational management and undermining employees.
