As we start 2016 the Bishopbriggs High School site remains empty - the £800,000 sports arena is still demolished 6 years on

The community of Bishopbriggs could still be using the £800,000 sports hall  on the old Bishopbriggs High School site if it hadn't been demolished (by accident).

Years after the decision by East Dumbartonshire council to build the new school, against the public consultation, on the Thomas Muir Site, we're still waiting for a use at the high school site.

In May 2010 the new £800,000 sports hall on the Bishopbriggs High School site was demolished 'by mistake' and without permission.

Now over 6 years later the site still remains empty.

No action was taken against anyone over the 'mistake'.

Bishopbriggs lost a publicly funded sporting asset only to see the site remain derelict and empty to this day.

What do you think East Dumbartonshire Council. should have done?
