A range of new facilities have been unveiled at a high-rise block at 415 Nitshill Road in Glasgow.

Some tenants were given a tour of the new amenities, including a garden room, a new lounge and kitchen, fitness and wellbeing suite, a visitor room and a new concierge station.

Margaret Dunn, 84, said: "I'm looking forward to the new facilities opening. People will use the TV room, the fitness suite and the hairdresser's, and the visitor room will be useful if you have friends or family staying over.

"It will be good for helping people socialise. It will make a difference."

New state-of-the-art technology has also been implemented, such as such as virtual gym equipment, and a touchscreen with information on local services in the area.

Glasgow Housing Association Locality Director, Laura Henderson, said: "We want to help tenants live as independently as possible.

"The new facilities and our varied programme of events will help bring tenants together."

The new facilities at 415 Nitshill Road are due to open later this year.
