The Govanhill Bath Campaign began as a hardcore political action group: when the council shout down the swimming pool, the local people occupied the building for half a year, until the police came in and scattered them. This led to a period of political radicalism within Govanhill, with left wing and community activists inspired by this genuine grassroots struggle. From this emerged the current trust, which offers a business plan to revive the Baths, holds regular fund raising events and has a local charity shop. One day, it will be the subject of a fascinating sociological documentary: for now, it is a vibrant antidote to political defeatism, and a genuine hope for local regeneration.
