Over 2,100 people signed a petition against plans to build 391 flats on the site of the Nuffield Health gym.
Plans to demolish a gym to build nearly 400 new flats in the west end of Glasgow have been approved, despite thousands signing a petition to keep it open.
Campaigners said the flat development does not meet Scottish government guidelines for affordable housing. "Nuffield is more than a gym," said Keith Trotter, a local resident who campaigned against the development. One official said the gym was "well-used and well-loved" but its loss had been established by a previous planning application approved in 2021.
He said the latest planning framework from the Scottish government "emphasises improving the health of west central Scotland and opportunities for play, socialising, relaxation and physical activity, which is exactly what this gym does".
