GOVANHILL BATHS IN LOCAL HANDS

Early day motion 42, tabled 19 May 2016 by Alison Thewliss (Scottish National Party). Signed by 19 members.

That this House warmly welcomes the news that Govanhill Baths is to re-open in 2018; congratulates community campaigners who staged the longest continuous occupation of a public building in British history, as they camped out for 140 days in protest against the closure of a vital community building; and commends all those dedicated local people who worked so hard to fulfil their campaign slogan United we will swim again.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 16, Labour 2, Independent 1.
