Public invited to share views on East Kilbride town centre
The events will give East Kilbride residents a chance to comment on early proposals for a residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment of the Centre West site, which includes new homes, community facilities, and a civic building. The sessions will be held at East Kilbride Library in the Olympia Shopping Centre on June 19 and August 14, each running from 12pm to 7pm. Read more: Ambitious plans to redevelop East Kilbride town centre move a step forward East Kilbride Library will serve as a permanent information hub throughout the project, allowing the community to stay informed and involved as plans progress. Savills, which has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PoAN) on behalf of South Lanarkshire council, said the scheme is designed to transform the area, which is at the heart of East Kilbride. The 3.7-hectare site is located within the town centre, bordered by Cornwall Street to the north, the shopping centre to the east, and Rothesay Street to the south and west. Alastair Wood, head of planning in Scotland for Savills, said: "This project represents an exciting opportunity to reimagine East Kilbride Town Centre. "By delivering a well-integrated residential-led development, the council aims to create a dynamic, sustainable community that meets the evolving needs of residents, businesses, and visitors alike." A new civic building is also proposed, with space for arts and cultural activities, public services, and offices. Community engagement is central to the project, with the council encouraging input from residents, businesses, and stakeholders.

"The project forum at the library is an ambitious idea to have a permanent home for the project; a place where we can listen, engage, and tell the story of the project. "We want to foster a participatory approach and build a relationship of trust that helps us deliver a place that embodies the future vision of East Kilbride."

How do Borderers view Scotland's first Center Parcs?
Plans for a £400m holiday village in the Scottish Borders appear to have received an overwhelming vote of confidence from nearby communities. Center Parcs marked the submission of an official Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to the local planning department by hosting a drop-in day. Comments and feedback from attendees during the eight-hour event were almost entirely positive. Center Parcs chief executive Colin McKinlay said: "We have been thrilled by the reception we've had - not just today but ever since we announced our intentions to come to Scotland last November." Center Parcs wants to erect 700 lodges and accompanying tourist facilities on a site to the north of Hawick. About 1,200 permanent jobs are being promised within the holiday park - and a further 800 jobs will be supported during the construction phase. Concerns over additional traffic and its environmental impact have been previously expressed, but during the first community consultation event at Hawick Rugby Club on Wednesday the mood was almost entirely positive. After visiting the Center Parcs community day, Ronald Duffy from Hawick said: "I thought farmers living nearby would be concerned as it would affect them, but even they seem very positive about what it will bring. "At the moment a lot of people drive through the Borders heading north, but I think Center Parcs will make the area a destination in its own right." To coincide with the planning notice being submitted to Scottish Borders Council, the company is embarking on a series of consultation events in the area. A full planning application is scheduled for submission this summer with long-term plans in place, if permission is granted, for work to begin at the start of 2027. Mr McKinlay added: "We are not presuming we are just going to be given planning permission, we are here to listen to what the communities around the site think. "We want to be here for the long-term and that means making sure it works for everyone." Laura Middlemass, who is a member of the Borders Chamber of Commerce, was impressed with what she saw and heard at the drop-in event. She said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for the Scottish Borders. "Center Parcs seems to be very invested in helping local business, and that's a good thing." Hawick resident Brian Emmerson is also supportive of the plans for a holiday village outside his home town. He said: "This will be a great boost for the local economy with all the jobs it's creating, and it will put Hawick on the tourist map." Center Parcs plans first Scottish holiday village
