Healthy n Happy Community Development Trust's Executive Director Brendan Rooney has released the following statement:
“In response to tough funding cuts within the charity sector, as well as a drop-off in national bike sales, sadly we have been left with no option but to close Bike Town, our community cycling hub.
“Regrettably, we have determined that redundancies are necessary to ensure the long-term viability and success of the wider charity. Making this difficult decision will ensure that Healthy n Happy will continue to offer a range of vital and purposeful activities for all in Cambuslang and Rutherglen.
"The wellbeing of the affected staff, volunteers, participants and customers is our main priority. We understand the impact that closure and redundancies will have and we are committed to helping them through this process.
“We know that the closure of Bike Town will be a loss to the local community and we sincerely thank everyone for their support over the last 11 years. Bike Town will be open for business and will continue offering cycling activities until 31 March 2025”
