New town hall and library planned for Drumchapel regeneration

Summarised from Glasgow Live's report · Updated 15 Oct, 08:14 · Archive

Glasgow City Council plans a new town hall and library in Drumchapel as part of a £15m regeneration project.

Glasgow City Council is planning to develop a new town hall and library as part of a wider project to regenerate Drumchapel town centre. The scheme will convert part of Garscadden House on Dalsetter Crescent, with library services on the ground floor of the west wing and flexible spaces for exhibitions and community events above. The UK Government provided £15m for the regeneration programme announced in late 2023, with the council contributing an additional £1.6m.

Moving the library from Hecla Avenue will release the site for new housing development, which the council says will support long-term regeneration and reinforce Drumchapel town hall as a civic anchor. Council and third sector services will be delivered from the east wing of Garscadden House, with the central area operating as a community hub. Other projects in the wider programme include refurbishing the former bowling pavilion in Drumchapel Park as a cycling workshop, community space and café.
