New nursery could be built on vacant land in Cambuslang

A planning application to construct a child daycare facility and associated parking on land near St Cadoc's Church has been submitted to South Lanarkshire Council (SLC). According to documents, applicant Hollytree Nursery states that this development would allow it to expand its services and 'address the increasing demand for childcare provision in the area'. If given the green light, the new nursery at Langcroft Drive would provide an additional 67 childcare places for children aged zero to five years. READ NEXT: Major supermarket to open new store creating 30 jobs Thirty-two of the places will be SLC-funded and would operate on a different drop-off and pick-up time from the under-threes in the nursery. The design statement notes that the facility would be set across a single storey and would be of a modern design. The development would also feature seven dedicated staff parking spaces as well as four drop-off car parking spaces for parents. Hollytree Nursery further comments that if planning permission is granted, the nursery will create around 15 new jobs for childcare professionals and support staff. A date has not yet been set for a decision to be made. For further information, visit SLC's planning portal HERE.

Sri Lanka Cricket Hopes To Host Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's India In August

Last Updated: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to make a comeback in August? Sri Lanka Cricket is exploring hosting India for a white-ball series! Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is considering hosting India for a white-ball series in early August, leveraging a rare gap in both nations' schedules. Final discussions are expected to occur this week during the ICC meetings in Singapore. This development follows an agreement between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to postpone the white-ball series, consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is, from August 2025 to September 2026 due to security concerns arising from unrest in a neighbouring country. The tour of Bangladesh was initially set to begin on August 17, following India's five-Test series against England, which concludes on August 4. 'We've received positive feedback. Further discussions will happen in Singapore during the ICC meeting. We expect a final decision within two or three days," a senior SLC official told If approved, the series will likely be held in Colombo and Kandy. Although the initial proposal included three ODIs and three T20Is, the focus is expected to shift towards T20s in preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup in February-March, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The opportunity arose after the Lanka Premier League (LPL), initially scheduled for August, was postponed. Simultaneously, India and Bangladesh agreed to defer a six-match limited-overs series planned for the same period, creating a window that SLC is eager to fill. Sri Lanka recently faced a disappointing 2-1 T20 series defeat to Bangladesh, their first-ever loss to the Tigers in this format. This defeat has led captain Charith Asalanka to urge the board for more high-quality cricket ahead of the World Cup. 'There are still a few spots up for grabs, and playing competitive cricket is essential. We can't afford to enter the World Cup undercooked," said Asalanka. Indian fans were also left disappointed after seeing the Bangladesh tour getting postponed because it delayed the international comeback of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are currently only active in ODIs. If SLC can arrange some ODIs, it'll bring their return forward from October (when India plays Australia) to August.
