St Margaret's Centre (Proposed Community Hall)

A new community facility will be provided in close consultation with the group of local people which will eventually manage it. It is envisaged that this will be achieved through conversion of the former St Margaret’s Church in Polmadie Road (picture below) failing which a new facility will be provided on the same site.  The floorspace will be approximately 550 sq. metres and is expected to include a large hall, two meeting rooms, a crèche area and a café/kitchen, together with outside sitting area and local children’s playground.

Former St Margaret's Church

The City Council has commissioned the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust to determine the feasibility of the conversion works. If, as hoped, these prove to be viable, the Council will sell the property to the Trust so that it can obtain grant assistance, co-ordinate the works and transfer the completed facility to community ownership, most likely some form of community trust.
