A sports complex in the southside of Glasgow has been given a new lease of life thanks to a £1.2m project three years in the making. The Barlia Pavilion, like many sports venues, was closed during the coronavirus pandemic. But once lockdown was lifted, a decision was taken by Glasgow City Council not to re-open it.
