The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Govanhill Baths Community Trust (GBCT) on the successful outcome of its planning application for a Health and Wellbeing Centre, which will bring back into use Govanhill’s three historic pools; believes that the Health and Wellbeing Centre, much like the old Govanhill Baths, will provide a great meeting and social point for the diverse community of Govanhill; praises the tireless and consistent campaigning by the GBCT, Save our Pool campaigners, Friends of Govanhill Baths and the local Govanhill community to keep the baths building open since 2001, and encourages people to lend their support to the campaign by joining the Friends of Govanhill Baths, by visiting the trust’s charity shop in Calder Street in Govanhill and by participating in the bath’s sponsored swim, the Million Metre Swim.
