It had been wrongly claimed the scaffolding was costing £18k a week
The total amount of money spent on scaffolding to support Ruchill Community Centre since February is £18,000, a spokesman for Glasgow Life has confirmed.
Members were also informed that more than £600,000 was needed to repair the roof and that the centre would remain closed to the public in the meantime.A spokesperson for Glasgow Life said: “In a letter sent to Councillor Higgins we mistakenly said scaffolding costs at Ruchill Community Centre were £18k a week.
“We apologise to Councillor Higgins and local community groups for the error made in recent communication.” But it was then discovered by the contractor that the building could not support this additional weight and the roof would need to be replaced. Asbestos has also been discovered in the roof which has increased construction costs considerably.
