The plan sets out how we will improve economic opportunities and outcomes for everyone in North Lanarkshire. This includes delivering new homes, reshaping town centres, attracting investment and improving infrastructure for new and existing business and industry sites, as well as upgrading our roads, active travel networks and digital connectivity.

The ERDP does not exist in isolation. It aligns with wider local and national strategies for regeneration, digital and local housing and is driven with investment from the private sector and partners across the public and voluntary sectors.

It supports plans for net zero carbon emissions and environmental sustainability as well as growth. It also ensures communities have access to fair and equitable economic and employment opportunities.

The plan is a key document for the council and our partners, helping us achieve our ambitions that North Lanarkshire is the place to live, learn, work, invest and visit.
