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.
