Drop-In Event To Be Held For Community Hub

East Dunbartonshire Council has announced a drop-in event is to be held revealing the latest plans for the new Bearsden Community Hub.

The event will give members of the public the chance to view the latest proposals for the hub, including information on the variety of services and facilities which will be available.

The over £3m development will include the re-provisioning of the library and community archives from Brookwood as well as enhancing the current hall facilities through a full refurbishment.

The Community Hub will also bring together a range of Council, library, leisure and cultural services under one roof.

Other features will include new public meeting rooms and social work facilities, new public toilets as well as an entire upgrade of the current accommodation.

In addition, a customer services area will be developed to deliver a new 'one stop shop' approach to customer services.

The drop-in event will be held at Bearsden Burgh Hall on 19 August between 4pm and 7:30pm.

Floor plans and images of the proposed development will be available to view.

Council officers and representatives from the council's development partner, hub West Scotland, will be available to address any comments and questions the public may have.

Council Leader Rhondda Geekie said: "This is another excellent opportunity for residents to find out more about what is planned for the new facility and provide us with further feedback.

"We are keen to engage with as many people and community groups as possible while we work towards making this new facility a reality.

"We have listened to the feedback from the previous engagement process and introduced this session to keep people up-dated as to how the proposals are progressing

"The Council and our partners in East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust - as well as hub West Scotland - look forward to speaking to people of all ages at the event on 19 August."
