Pool protest makes splash

Members of the Gorgie Dalry Community Centre gathered outside Dalry Swim Centre on Saturday to protest its planned closure.

The centre is one of four local sports facilities at risk of closure under cost-cutting plans by Edinburgh Leisure.

Scores of supporters converged on the Caledonian Crescent facility to protest against the closure plans, while campaigners have already collected nearly 2000 signatures on petitions to save the Victorian building.
