The community facility in the East End of Glasgow was created as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games legacy
A community facility created as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games legacy has shut its doors.
The Legacy Hub, in Dalmarnock, has closed after operators The People’s Development Trust fell into administration.
The hub was opened following the Glasgow games in October 2015 and was home to a nursery, community hall and healthcare services.
The £3.5 million facility was funded by the Scottish Government, Clyde Gateway and the Big Lottery Fund Scotland.
Those whose children attend the nursery were told on Friday that the centre would be closing with immediate effect, with administrators appointed.
Blair Nimmo, joint administrator and KPMG’s UK head of restructuring said: “Unfortunately, The People’s Development Trust was unable to continue trading in light of significant liabilities and cashflow difficulties.
"This has, in turn, resulted in the redundancies which have been announced and the closure of a number of services provided by the Legacy Hub.
"We will be working with all affected employees, the parents of the nursery children, Glasgow City Council and the relevant government agencies, including the PACE team at Skills Development Scotland, to ensure a full range of support is available.
"We will also work with key stakeholders, particularly the local community, to determine the future of the Legacy Hub."
Since closing, more than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling for the hub to re-open.
A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: "We understand that the closure of the nursery is a significant concern to the families that use it - and we are offering support to identify suitable alternative provision."
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: "We are saddened to hear of the People’s Development Trust entering administration and the impact this has had on trust staff and services provided to the local community.
"Although this is a matter for the People’s Development Trust and Glasgow City Council, we recognise the importance of the Legacy Hub to the people of Glasgow.
"We will continue to monitor the situation closely and consider any support we can offer through our Partnership Action for Continuing Employment."
The medical and dental practice, as well as the pharmacy, will continue to operate as normal, but all other services and bookings are cancelled.
