Customers of Brookwood Library and the temporary Bearsden Hub are being given advance notice of short-term service interruptions this month as they move to their new home in the Bearsden Community Hub.
The £3 million Bearsden Community Hub is set to open its doors to customers on Monday 6 March offering a range of services under the same roof for the first time.
While we pack up and prepare for the move to their new premises there will be some disruption as follows:
- You will be able to access Customer Services at Roman Road Registration Office from Monday 27 February until Friday 3 March where customers will continue to be able to make payments for a number of Council services and register birth, deaths and marriages
- There may be some disruption to payments at the kiosks on Friday 24 February and Friday 3 March
- From Monday 6 March you will access Customer Services and Registration Services from the new Community Hub on Drymen Road
- There will be no library service from Friday 24 February until Sunday 5 March resuming on Monday 6 March at the new Hub. Customers will be able to access services at nearby Milngavie or Westerton libraries or at any library in East Dunbartonshire.
Council Leader Rhondda Geekie said, “I understand that this short-term interruption to service may be inconvenient but I hope this early notice is helpful.
“Customers who were planning on using the payment kiosks on either Friday 24 February or Friday 3 March should consider either making their payments earlier or making payments at the Post Office. Alternatively, please check our website for information on alternative ways to pay.
“We are working hard to keep disruption to a minimum and local people should reap the benefits when the new Community Hub opens its doors.”
The new Community Hub, which is based on a reconfiguration of the Burgh Hall site on Drymen Road, will include the re-provisioning of the library and community archives from Brookwood as well as enhancing the current hall facilities through a full refurbishment.
The fantastic new facility, which will bring together Council, library, leisure and cultural services in a single building, will also contain meeting rooms and social work facilities, new public toilets and an entire upgrade of the current accommodation.
The on-site customer services team will make it easier for residents to access and get information about a variety of different Council services and make payments for them in just one visit.
