Gay and lesbian centre run by Purcell ally to be shut

A publicly funded gay and lesbian centre, headed by a close political ally of shamed former council chief Steven Purcell, is being evicted from its premises after a probe uncovered a range of financial irregularities.

The Castro Centre in Glasgow, run by councillor Ruth Black, could be forcibly shut within a week although it could take another 14 to 21 days before the venue’s doors are finally closed.
