A PUBLIC protest is going ahead despite Labour council bosses U-turning on a plan to close 39 sports and leisure centres in North Lanarkshire...
North Lanarkshire Council found itself the subject of intense anger from the public, opposition politicians – and even from within Scottish Labour –
A public demonstration was planned for this Thursday afternoon outside North Lanarkshire’s Civic Centre headquarters just as council members arrive for the latest quarterly full council assembly.James Cassidy, who is also a member of Trade Unionists for Independence, said the community need to “remind the council who they work for”.
“We need to remind them that we're watching. What we don't want to see is them now picking them off one by one when nobody's looking. We've got their attention now and we really need to drive home that these facilities can't be closed. “We’ll be there on Thursday and hopefully getting across a message to the councillors that they will bear in mind.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
