Consultation on updated route of new East Airdrie Link Road starts this month
A consultation on the updated route of the new East Airdrie Link Road starts on June 16.
Information about the route and design of the road will be available online, and drop-in events will be held in Airdrie, Chapelhall and Cumbernauld.
Feedback from an engagement exercise last year has been incorporated into the updated route which will better integrate with local roads and lessen the impact on land, ecology, landscape and woodland.
The single-carriageway road will run from just north of the M8, at the A73 Newhouse Interchange, to the A73 north of Stand and Riggend.
It will also provide access to the replacement Monklands Hospital at Wester Moffat, Airdrie.
North Lanarkshire Council is building the road as part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal.
This latest consultation is being carried out as part of the Pre-Application Notice (PAN), the first stage in the process of applying for planning permission.
Comments will inform the final road design for the planning application.
Members of the project team will be available to discuss the plans at the drop-in events which take place between 2pm and 7pm on:
Tuesday, June 17, in Airdrie Library.
Thursday, June 19, in Chapelhall Library.
Tuesday, June 24, in Cumbernauld Library.
The East Airdrie Link Road is designed to improve: journey times and transport reliability; connections between residential areas, town centres, business centres, employment and education; and air quality, by relieving congestion along the existing A73.

Brighton's pre-season has been 'done right'
Former Brighton player Warren Aspinall, speaking on BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast about the Seagulls' approach of having a focused pre-season training camp: "Once you travel to the other side of the world, the time difference is difficult and you lose two or three days there. It's probably more days off than working."They've had a bit of a bonding session in Spain - that's what you want, these new players getting embedded in and getting to know their new team-mates."They've done it right. I think they've had a good pre-season. Hurzeler's working very hard."Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, the i Paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey added: "Are they going to gain many more fans by going away to Asia or America? Because then you're competing against Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, it's very difficult to suddenly turn someone to go buy that Brighton shirt and support that team."I'm almost certain it was Fabian Hurzeler's idea, and I think what they learned from last season is that you need to create a culture right for the manager that's there."It's made sense with a young coach who loves control to take the noise away. It's a young squad. They don't need the external noise of people caring about pre-season results."Listen to the full episode of this week's Albion Unlimited on BBC Sounds

Where to stay in Los Angeles: The best neighborhoods to base your visit in
Bordered by Griffith Park to the north, Los Feliz is situated along a cozy, evergreen-lined hillside with its own unique charm. Back down towards the flats, the eateries and shops that run along both Hillhurst and Vermont Avenues have a more casual and comfortable feel than nearby Hollywood without as much of the increasingly-luxuriously hip vibe found in its neighbors Echo Lake and Silver Park. It's not a convenient base if you plan on regularly venturing into the Westside, but I think Los Feliz is ideal for any trip that'll primarily have you heading anywhere in Hollywood and east (and even for some near-Valley destinations like Universal Studios Hollywood or the neighboring movie studios in Toluca Lake and Burbank). Metro's B Line (Red) runs all the way to the southern edge of Los Feliz, where you can also jump onboard a DASH bus to the Observatory. Oh, and FYI: It's pronounced Los FEE-lisz. EAT The unofficial living room of the neighborhood, Little Dom's has stayed bustling for breakfast, lunch and dinner over the past two decades (swing by for its three-course Monday night suppers). Kismet is jam packed with brilliant Turkish and Mediterranean-inspired shareables and snacks—the shakshuka, broccolli toast and fantastically flakey bread and dips are all great choices. DRINK Take a seat in the idyllic twinkle-lit courtyard at Big Bar and sample from a selection of playful but unfussy perfectly concocted cocktails. Or try pre-Hispanic recipes at Mírate, which was recently named one of the best bars on the continent. DO Stop off at the bright and airy Skylight Books and search through the independent store's thoughtfully curated staff picks for some mind stretching reading material. Peruse an always different assortment of pop culture at Soap Plant Wacko and its adjoining gallery La Luz de Jesus. Then catch an early evening matinee in the Egyptian style Vista Theatre (now under the ownership of Quentin Tarantino). STAY You'll only find a couple of overnight options within Los Feliz proper, namely Hotel Covell, a five-room boutique hotel located above Bar Covell. Each room conjures a different phase in a fictional, well-heeled traveler's life—think a humble Midwestern bedroom, New York in the '50s and a Parisian love nest. (Though it's worth noting there's no pool or gym.) On the northwest side of the neighborhood, a former courtyard motel has been given a chic makeover as the Cara Hotel, perhaps best known for its dreamy patio restaurant. If you do just one thing…

The best restaurants on Edinburgh tram line before Oasis concerts at Murrayfield
Here are some of the top eateries to head to before Oasis take the stage. After months of waiting, Oasis will return to Scotland this week. On August 8, 9, and 12, the band will perform at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium for what will be an unforgettable string of shows. When it comes to the day of your concert, the last thing you want to worry about is being late. That is why it is a good idea to plan your pre-show meal around where is easily accessible. The Daily Record previously rounded up some of the top food and drink spots near Murrayfield. Now we are turning our attention to restaurants and pubs along the tram route to the venue. We have put together a list of four eateries that are just a short walk to a tram stop, from where you can quickly get to Murrayfield. From laid-back gastropubs to fancy restaurants, there is something for everyone. Read on for a roundup of four of the best restaurants on the Edinburgh tram line to eat at before the Oasis concerts at Murrayfield. 1. Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh, Princes Street tram stop Hard Rock Cafe, which is famous for its nostalgic music memorabilia and old-fashioned American cuisine, can be found on George Street—a short walk from the Princes Street tram stop. The popular eatery is celebrating Oasis' return to Scotland with a unique pre-concert brunch. Before heading to Murrayfield, customers can enjoy a Champagne Supernova Breakfast. The deal includes a choice of any main from the breakfast menu served with a glass of Champagne, while the greatest hits from Oasis play in the background. More information can be found on the Hard Rock Cafe website. 2. Vittoria on the Walk, McDonald Road tram stop If you find yourself in Edinburgh's trendy Leith district before your Oasis show, Vittoria on the Walk is a great pre-gig pit stop. A local favourite, the bustling Italian restaurant is renowned for its sizeable portions of pasta, tasty wood-fired pizzas, and friendly atmosphere. Only a short walk from the McDonald Road tram stop, Vittoria on the Walk is a great spot to fuel up prior to your concert. With its quick service and lively vibe, it will put you in the mood for a night of fun. More information can be found on the Vittoria on the Walk website. 3. Brunswick Book Club, McDonald Road tram stop Also just a short stroll from the tram stop at McDonald Road is Brunswick Book Club. The gastropub and restaurant is the kind of laid-back destination ideal for a pre-gig bite to eat. If Oasis fans get lucky with the weather, there is a large outdoor terrace where they can sit and soak up some sun. The vibe is homely, while the menu is comprised of classic comfort food and craft beers and cocktails. More information can be found on the Brunswick Book Club website. 4. Dulse, West End tram stop Finally, for those after something a bit fancier, trendy eatery Dulse is the perfect spot to add a touch of luxury to your pre-Oasis plans. Situated in the West End, a quick walk from the nearby tram stop, it specialises in mouthwatering seafood. From chef Dean Banks, the opulent-yet-friendly seafood restaurant is known for its fresh ingredients and balanced flavours. It also offers a tasting menu with matching paired wines.
