The public are being asked to help shape the future of leisure and culture in East Dunbartonshire.

East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust (EDLCT) is developing a new Culture, Leisure and Sport Strategy.

The registered charity is asking people, organisations, and groups to take part in a consultation that will run until June 29.

EDLCT, which runs a number of services and facilities including Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre, the Leisuredrome in Bishopbriggs, and the Allander Leisure Centre in Bearsden, is asking people to fill in a survey to help shape the strategy.

The trust has already developed a vision, mission statement, and priorities for the next five years through consultation with employees.

Councillor Jim Gibbons, chair of EDLCT, said: "We are developing a new strategy and want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to be part of the process and to help shape the future of the organisation.

"If you can spare 10 minutes, please get involved."

Engagement events will be held at EDLCT venues, where staff will be available to help people access and complete the survey online.

The results of the survey will help shape the final strategy, which is expected to be in place by autumn this year after a report is presented to the EDLCT board.

Consultation will also take place with key partners and national organisations, such as East Dunbartonshire Council, Museums Galleries Scotland, the Scottish Library and Information Council, and sportscotland.
