Save Whitehill Pool

Save Whitehill pool from proposed closures by Glasgow City Council!

@xDianax @Glasgowclub @SaveWhitehill Absolutely, kids are being denied the opportunity to learn a life saving skill. Hard to implement key elements of Scotland’s Drowning Prevention Strategy with safe, working facilities to learn in. Come on @Glasgowclub @GlasgowCC #fingerout #getitfixed

[Craig Cunningham @Craig545AC]

@Glasgowclub Maybe do the wee pool @Glasgowclub Whitehill next eh? The funds to sort it were agreed before Lockdown I believe @SaveWhitehill?

[Save Whitehill Pool @SaveWhitehill]

@Craig545AC @Glasgowclub That's correct Craig.

[Paul Sweeney MSP @PaulJSweeney]

When Carnegie gifted 16 libraries to Glasgow in 1901 he wrote, "Let Glasgow flourish, so say we all of us Scotsmen throughout the world."

Today Glaswegians marched to reaffirm these words. We demand all our libraries, sport and cultural venues are reopened, and no jobs are lost.

Thank you Paul! You were a great support and we enjoyed working with you.

Brilliant news today that the future of Whitehill Pool has been secured with critical refurbishment and maintenance work agreed. @SaveWhitehill worked cross-party in a determined way while was I the MP. They united the community. They made the political price of closure too high.

I am so delighted that today’s @SNPforGlasgow budget deal reached with the Glasgow Greens will deliver a much needed £1million capital investment fund for Whitehill Pool. I’m sure this will be welcome news for the community of Dennistoun and everyone at @SaveWhitehill

Gyms and swimming pools to reopen in Scotland on 31 August https://t.co/CmGzPCvR19

[Save Whitehill Pool @SaveWhitehill]

Lovely to meet you virtually tonight @MhairiSwanson. We completely agree with your campaign and we will need funding to ensure swimming is a sport we can all enjoy as part of #covidrecovery

[Mhairi Swanson @MhairiSwanson]

Scotland will face a future pandemic fighting obesity, alcoholism and mental health issues if these pools are forced to close down. Please @NicolaSturgeon 🤞🏽 leisure centres need help to be saved 🤞🏽

We’ve replenished leaflet stock @zerowasteGLA on Hillfoot Street #Dennistoun for our #COVID19 Volunteers to continue flyering their local streets to reach our offline #community. Please mark up Flyering Plan to make sure we don’t do same streets twice! ➡️https://t.co/6E1vLsstp9
