We have received the following update from Glasgow Council on the situation with Polmadie Bridge.

"For your information the demolition works at Polmadie Footbridge are at present programmed to be completed in April 2016. The temporary works, to ensure the bridge is removed safely, are programmed to finish in the next few weeks and the demolition works will follow.

The demolition sequence will start on the Southern span and will continue in order to the Northern spans. Access to the river users up/down river may be possible after the Southern river span has been demolished (expected around the beginning of March) but not before"

We will publish any further updates when we receive them.

Para sport is high on the sporting agenda across the UK, and Scottish Rowing wants to be at the forefront of these exciting and inspirational developments.

Para rowing has the ability to change a person's life. It can be an aid to recovery, it can help  in the management of illness and disabilities and it can give people a very important competitive outlet, and a new lease on life.

Scottish Rowing has already begun to build a base on which we can continue to grow para rowing, and now we need you.

We want to educate rowers, coaches, umpires, and volunteers on what it means to be a para rower and how to support them.
