The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the West of Scotland Housing Association (WSHA) and its charitable subsidiary, Willowacre Trust, on the official launch of a new community space for residents of Cowlairs and Springburn in North Glasgow; notes that the community flat on Keppochhill Road will provide a vital hub for local residents, offering support and activities including digital inclusion, money and debt advice, and community-led initiatives; believes that WSHA makes a significant contribution by providing around 500 homes in the area, including sheltered housing; commends the work of Willowacre Trust in relation to securing funding and delivering community services, and acknowledges the dedication of outgoing WSHA chief executive Brian Gannon, whose commitment to reinstating a community space for Cowlairs, it believes, has culminated in this important facility, benefitting the local community for years to come.
