Construction work is continuing on a new £23.5 million leisure centre in Clydebank.

Five pupils from the local Whitecrook Primary got a tour of the construction site to find out more about the extensive facilities that will be available once the centre opens early next year.

Construction began eight months ago on the four-storey building and significant progress has been made.

All of the concrete cores which will form the stairs and lifts within the building have now been completed, with steelworks now underway and the creation of the swimming pools getting started.

Councillor Patrick McGlinchey, Convener for Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development, said: "I'm delighted to see the new leisure centre starting to really take shape. It will provide a fantastic facility for the whole area to enjoy, with something for all ages. We are committed to improving the life chances of our children and young people, so it was great that the pupils from Whitecrook Primary had the opportunity to visit the site to get an idea of what the new facility is going to be like."
