Lord Provost officially opens Leisure Centre next to Maryhill Burgh Halls

Lord Provost Bob Winter unveiled a plaque to mark the official opening of the Glasgow Club Maryhill - a brand new leisure pool and indoor facilities on the site of the former Baths and Washhouses, next to the Maryhill Burgh Halls site. The centre is entered through a new courtyard created behind the retained facade of the former fire station, which will form a joint entrance with the Halls when they re-open in May 2011.

New steelwork erected on site

The first consignment of steelwork for the new build portion of the Burgh Halls project arrived on site early this morning. The contractors have wasted no time, and already the first sections of it have been erected behind the retained facade of the former Police Station.
The majority of the steelwork will be erected by the middle of next week.
