Save Our Venues: Glaswegians protest closures of city venues

Organisers, Glasgow Against Closures, said that today's action was to, "tell the council with one unified voice that the people of Glasgow will not accept the closure of any of our venues."

The events message asks Glasgow City Council to stop any third party takeovers of the city's libraries, community centres and sports centres and to re-open every venue as soon as possible.

Those protesting hope to stop Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life from permanently closing 59 of the city's community sport and cultural venues. 

Organisers said: "People make Glasgow, sadly it's up to us to remind the council of this fact."
