Campaigners Robert Mellish, Maisie McRae, Councillor Ade Aibinu and Elizabeth Brown outside Whiteinch Library (Photo - Kirsty Anderson) CITY councillors have teamed up with local community groups to support the Save our Venues campaign and reverse Glasgow Life’s decision to shut some facilities permanently. Conservative, Labour and Green councillors have criticised the move to only re-open 90 venues across the city while facilities including Whiteinch Library and the tennis and basketball courts in Victoria Park remain closed. The tennis and basketball courts are one of several facilities where there is interest in a community asset transfer. Whiteinch Community Council is demanding that a full service, comparable to other city libraries is provided from the same B-listed building near Victoria Park.
