'After 22 years we are still fighting for the reopening of Govanhill Baths.'
The trust behind the refurbishment of Govanhill Baths says it will need another £6.5 million to complete the project.
"It is a huge disappointment to us that the funding which we fought so hard to secure is no longer sufficient to complete the refurbishment as planned and the budget does not enable the building to be fitted out with everything it needs to function. The Trust says the construction project has been hit by delays and spiralling construction costs caused by covid and exacerbated by Brexit, the war in Ukraine and cost of living crisis.
Reopening Govanhill Baths would, says local SNP MP Alison Thewliss, be of importance to the community. "In these difficult times for many, such a pillar of the community being open could make a huge difference to so many lives.In 2011 Nicola Sturgeon and the actor Peter Mullen opened the first phase of the redevelopment of the building - an entrance foyer,Then, 2017 the teaching pool opened and swimming was available in Govanhill for the first time in a decade.
Completed works has successfully conserved the entire roof, stone walls and windows, the concrete structure has had extensive repair, historic features have been preserved and structural alterations made to get the building ready for its future use.
