		AS the local Glasgow City Councillor for Govanhill, I believe it is high time to let your readers have some facts about the pool closure.
		Usage of Govanhill stood at 199,326 in the financial year 1995-96, was down to 99,095 in 1999-2000, and I am told the total usage in 2000-01 was 70,082 in 50 weeks.
		Crosshill and Govanhill Community Council, together with local councillors, persuaded the council leadership to set up a feasibility study on the future of the building.

		The venue has been used for sport and recreation by the Govanhill community, including waves of new citizens, from 1914 to the recent past.
		They are a very threatened building type.....Any proposed reuse of Govanhill Baths must take into account much more than simply the preservation of a façade: the spaces given over to the pools are of importance and their reuse must be considered extremely carefully"
		When Govanhill Baths closed in 2001, they were the only original, substantially unaltered public baths in the city still in use

		Public baths at Govanhill, which were the subject of a sit-in by users who wanted to retail the Edwardian, B-listed, facilities, were closed so dramatically by the City Council in 2001 that a riot ensued.
		Four years ago the City said Govanhill Baths were past their sell by date and we should all use the state-of-art now leisure pool at Gorbals.
		The architectural survey we’d had done recently shows the Govanhill main pool is in perfectly good order despite lying empty all this time.’ The Trust has until March 14 put detailed proposals – and funding commitments – before the Council to convert the Calder Street facility into a Health Living centre.

	:: Schnews :: SchNEWS OF THE WORLD
		In March 2001, Glasgow City Council’s plan to close the Govanhill Pool complex, which lies in the one of the poorest and least healthy parts of Western Europe, was thwarted when members of the local community occupied the building, maintaining a 24 hour picket for over 6 months.
		The occupation ended on August 7th 2001, when sheriff officers, supported by over 250 Police, horses, dogs and a helicopter confronted hundreds of local people who had spontaneously come out onto the streets to fight for a facility at the heart of their community.
		If we believe that people can self organise, spontaneously take collective action and be politicised by doing so, we should be encouraged by what has happened in Govanhill and despite the campaign’s difficulties and challenges it presents, I have no doubt that the community in Govanhill deserves our continued support.

		IT IS more by accident than by design that I end up meeting folk singer Alistair Hulett in the famous Clutha Vaults pub on the north bank of the river Clyde in Glasgow city centre.
		Hulett is a member of the campaign to save Govanhill swimming pool from closure, and the Clutha is a hop, skip and a jump from the Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he has been lending moral support to a number of his fellow protestors who are on trial.
		Nevertheless, the pub is an appropriate place for me to meet him to discuss Them and Us, the Edinburgh International Festival’s series of concerts showcasing Scottish political song, which has been programmed in conjunction with the Centre for Political Song at Glasgow Caledonian University.
