Hundreds of projects have already been delivered as part of our Local Development Programme (LDP) across the nine Community Board areas. These include community safety measures, such as new street lighting and CCTV cameras; renewed and improved play areas and new multi-use games areas providing facilities for local people and environmental improvements such as nature walkways and paths. 

In the Northern Corridor, we’ve plans to invest over £500,000 in the next five years. From the outset, community groups and elected members are involved in deciding how to use money to improve facilities that bring the most benefit to their areas.  

Projects completed include an outdoor gym at Glenboig, regeneration work at Moodiesburn Glen, installation of community safety CCTV; Cardowan miners memorial; an extension of the play area at Mount Ellen and the replacement of a play area in Mollinsburn. 

Community Empowerment Committee Convener, Councillor Angela Campbell, said: “We have boards across all local areas which meet and involve local people, elected members, council officers and partners.  

“People living in their own communities know where they would like to see money invested and improvements made and are keen to get involved and have their voices heard. 

“These projects make a real difference to the lives of local people, whether it’s helping to improve community safety or giving children a place to play. By listening to people in our community, we are making sure the money is spent where it is needed most.” 

There are lots of other projects in the planning including entrance features for Mollinsburn and Auchinloch, a wheeled sports facility in Kelvin Drive, Moodiesburn, community safety CCTV and play area replacement at Dunalastair Drive.  

By working with our local communities and partners, we can realise our ambition to make North Lanarkshire the place to Live, Learn, Work, Invest and Visit.
