Concerned members of the community, politicians and one of the world’s most famous comic-book writers have issued passionate pleas to save a beloved Lanarkshire sports club after the council shut down its venue for repairs.
Hundreds of people attended a protest event at the Janet Hamilton Centre in Coatbridge on Sunday as the hugely successful Bannan Fitness Club faces an uncertain future.
The council say “no decision” has been taken over the fate of the Langloan Street centre, which is now closed for “safety reasons” based on advice from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the local authority’s health and safety team.
