The 39 facilities will close over the next two years following a controversial council vote
A host of swimming pools, sports centres, libraries and community venues across North Lanarkshire are to close to save £4.7 million.
Venues which will now shut their doors permanently over the next two years include the John Smith pool in Airdrie, Shotts leisure centre and Sir Matt Busby sports complex; all of which saw thousands of residents sign online petitions campaigning for their retention. The controversial decision was passed in a knife-edge vote at the authority's policy and strategy committee on Thursday, going through after 13-12 and 13-11 votes amid counter-proposals from the opposition SNP and Progressive Change groups to pause and review the closure process.Swimming pools and leisure centresAntonine sports hubIain Nicolson centre Download the Lanarkshire Live app today The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
