Members of a Brucehill gymnastics club who have seen their base threatened with closure say they feel let down by West Dunbartonshire Council.
The West Dumbarton Activity Centre in Brucehill is one of seven facilities which could close or move to community ownership as the local authority attempts to close a £21 million budget shortfall.
Despite fierce opposition from members of West Dunbartonshire Gymnastics Club, which welcomes more than 550 people every week, councillors approved proposals that could see the venue closed down if it can’t be brought into community ownership.
The proposal reads: "This would reduce community facility provision across West Dunbartonshire to a level more consistent with neighbouring local authorities through a combination of closure and community asset transfers.”
It continues: “Under this option, the provision would be reviewed with up to seven centres transferred to community ownership or closed.”
Development coordinator at WDGC Luisa McFarlane said: “We feel very disappointed and let down by the council.
“The young people are being disadvantaged at every turn by a local authority that has continually failed to support the development of their skills by neglecting the facility.
“In 2018 we worked hard with parents and carers to get the gym up and running and are disappointed that WDC are bailing on their side of the agreements made.
“As a community club we could not take over the building with all the repairs that need done.”
As well as Brucehill’s gymnastics centre, the proposals would also impact Bonhill Community Centre in Ladyton, Napier Hall in Old Kilpatrick, Bowling Hall and three venues in Clydebank.

Callum McLennan “Girl, Unknown,” the sophomore feature from Spanish director Pablo Maqueda (“Dear Werner”), currently ranks as one of the early buzz titles at the Málaga Film Festival, even before its world premiere. The film adapts Paco Bezerra’s stage play “Grooming.” Maqueda, Bezerra and Haizea G. Viana wrote the script, which retains the play’s unsettling cat-and-mouse element. It delves into the recesses of desire, raising questions on depravity, sexuality, and the drive to be fulfilled. The story unfolds a pendulum swinging power dynamic between the seemingly innocent 16 year old Carolina, and a middle aged man she meets in a park named Leo. What begins and is a case of grooming morphs into something far more complex due to Carolina not being all she seems. Maqueda shows a Hanekesque talent in balancing the disturbing with the thrilling. On the film, Maqueda told Variety: “I feel the film as a kaleidoscope and the characters as masks. I like stories that navigate in the daily terror of everyday life,”
