In 2001 Glasgow City Council closed the Public wash-house/pool despite the fact that many people in the surrounding area didn’t have baths, showers or even the simplest of washing facilities, thus taking away the simple right to have a wash and the dignity of personal hygiene. Before the closure new baths were opened in the Bellahouston & Gorbals areas, neither of them have private washing facilities for individuals.
