===Neighbourhoods=== The Linnvale housing estate was rebuilt in the late 1940s after being destroyed during the Clydebank Blitz, with its new streets named after members of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] government of the time, such as [[Clement Attlee|Attlee Avenue]] and [[Ernest Bevin|Bevin Avenue]]. The area has one non-denominational primary school, Linnvale Primary, which also runs a nursery service. Linnvale Parish Church of Scotland was opened under the [[Church of Scotland]]'s church extension scheme of the 1950s. During the 1980s, Linnvale was one of the areas included in the East End Initiative, and a support team helped to set up groups and clubs and to enable them to become self-sufficient. Whitecrook occupies part of the south-east of the town, between the Forth and Clyde Canal to the north and Glasgow Road to the southwest. The neighbourhood is named after Whitecrook farm which used to stand there. It includes one [[non-denominational]] [[primary school]] (Whitecrook Primary), a Catholic primary school (Our Holy Redeemer's β usually referred to as O.H.R.), and formerly had a Roman Catholic [[high school]] ([[Saint Andrew's High School (Clydebank)|St Andrew's High School]]). It also has St Margaret's [[Hospice]], which has recently completed development to add a new wing. Local amenities include John Brown's park on Barns Street, two [[bowls|bowling]] clubs and Clydebank Rugby Club which plays at Whitecrook sports ground. Frequent buses go along Barns Street/East Barns Street.
