EXCLUSIVE: Public Meeting Planned to Revive Save Whitehill Pool Campaign

Community Calls for Action as D-Day Draws Closer for Leisure Facility's Future

EXCLUSIVE by Gary Fanning

A public meeting to discuss the future of Whitehill Pool is set to take place in April, following growing community interest in revitalising the long-running campaign to save the facility.

The Dennistoun Community Council (DCC) hopes the meeting on Tuesday April 8 will gather renewed momentum amid increasing concerns over the pool’s future.

The campaign has been a fixture on the community council’s agenda for the past six years.

An online poll conducted via the Dennistoun Information Facebook group saw 300 people express their support for holding a meeting.

At Tuesday’s community council meeting, one campaigner said: “Can we revive Save Whitehill Pool? The campaign will have a much greater impact if it comes with strong community backing, especially with the Commonwealth Games approaching.

“We also have a video that can be projected on a screen, and all our elected representatives have pledged to support the pool.”

The last major meeting on the issue took place in the theatre of Whitehill Secondary School in 2019, providing a public platform for debate.

Former Whitehill Swimming Club chairman, Bill Stark, a long-time supporter of the campaign, recalled: “The community council facilitated a meeting before, and the public responded strongly.”

The future of Whitehill Pool hangs in the balance. A critical report could determine its fate, and local officials face mounting pressure to take action.
