Ravenscraig drop-in exhibitions announced

Members of the public are invited to view and comment on proposals being put forward for the next phase of development at Ravenscraig.

A revised masterplan includes proposals for further housing, a primary school, a new 17-acre park, and a range of town centre facilities.

Ravenscraig Ltd will be holding series of drop-in exhibitions ahead of the new application being submitted to North Lanarkshire Council in February 2018.

• Tuesday 21 November, 2.30pm until 8pm, Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility
• Wednesday 22 November, 3pm until 7.00pm, John McCormack Community Centre, Carfin
• Thursday 23 November, 3pm until 7.00pm, Jim Fowley Community Centre, Wishaw

Nick Davies, director of Ravenscraig Ltd, said: “We have ongoing plans to redevelop the Ravenscraig site, one of the most important urban regeneration projects in Europe. Since development work began in 2006, we have welcomed New College Lanarkshire, Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility, the Ravenscliff pub and hotel, and hundreds of homes to the site.

“The revised masterplan reflects the needs of the growing community, with a focus on high quality housing, a range of community and commercial facilities and substantial green space all of which will combine to deliver an enhanced quality of life for the local community.
