Talks over the lease of Easterhouse sports centre to a partnership of three community groups can go ahead after council approval was secured.
Both the Phoenix Centre and Easterhouse Community Sports Hub have been active in the area for over a decade and the partnership has experience in reopening and managing community sports facilities.
“Supporting community organisations to take a lead on the management of local assets has enabled greater investment and better service delivery for local people and I look forward to working with the partnership to deliver for the people of Easterhouse.” Cllr Cecilia O’Lone said: “I work in the area, it’s so good to see the sports centre being reopened and the community actually getting to use it.”READ MORE:Cllr Kevin Lalley said: “The sports centre is local to where I live and I use it on main occasions, it’s great that it’s going back to the community but I think in negotiations we must stress that it will always be that case, for the benefit of the community.
The council believes the partnership is “passionate about providing access to sport and physical activity” in Easterhouse and have a “proven record of doing so”. Over 500 people took part in community engagement, carried out by the partnership, and feedback is reported to have been “overwhelmingly positive”.
