Reopening Woodside Halls key issue for Maryhill candidates

Built in 1925 and operated by Glasgow Life, Woodside Halls has been described as the perfect venue to host meetings, conferences and events – but still remains closed post pandemic.

Talks are scheduled to take place between the city council and Community Central Hall (CCH) , a trust which runs Maryhill Hall and is taking on Woodside Halls.

Located in the far north of Glasgow, with East Dunbartonshire to the north, the ward includes the former burgh of Maryhill and the Wyndford housing estate which is between the River Kelvin which is to the west and the Port Dundas branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal to the east.

It is also home to the Maryhill Park, Summerston, Gilshochill, Acre and Dawsholm neighbourhoods which are situated to the north of the main canal.

Other issues that are important to residents include the pothole problem along Maryhill Road and the cost of living crisis which is expected to impact vulnerable people the most as energy bills continue to soar.
