A NEW £2 million community centre in the east end has been hit by further delays.

Craigend Community Centre will now open to the public on Thursday December 2.

The new centre features a cafe, creche, multi-function hall, information technology training room, laundry, training kitchen and flexible meeting spaces.

Brian Power, centre manager, said: "We had hoped to open on Monday but there are some snagging issues and we are still transferring some equipment.

"Some items can be salvaged but others will have to be replaced.

"The building is looking great - it is luxury compared to what we are useD to."

The demolition of the existing building is scheduled for December 6.
