Regeneration Update - Demolition

The Council continue to work with all concerned to find workable solutions to the many difficult logistical problems that arise from the demolition of such a relatively large number of flats. Somewhat worryingly, there have been a number of malicious fires started in a small number of the empty properties. The authorities are aware of the situation and as noted above are working to have these blocks brought down just as quickly as is practical.

As part of the plans Forgewood Housing Co-Operative are to build 25 affordable homes. We hope to post details of the new development ahead of the building works.

Please be sure to check back for regular updates on progress.

Wider Estate Regeneration

The Regeneration Manager tells us that a consultant (Ironside Farrar) have been appointed to carry out an architectural appraisal of several potential development sites in the area.

They will report at the end of April/beginning of May having considered all available geotechnical data, historic information and spoken to significant stakeholders and will make recommendations on potential for future development around community faculties and housing.

Core Path Planning

Forgewood Community Council - North Lanarkshire core path planning

Land Use Consultants (LUC) has recently been commissioned by North Lanarkshire Council to undertake a consultation to inform the development of a draft core path network plan. As you may know, each local authority is required to develop a core path plan by 2008. The aim of the core path plan is to create a network of suitable paths and routes for all fitness levels and abilities.

As part of the consultation we are interested in finding out where people go walking, cycling and horseriding (as one does :-) ) in your area.
To gather information and they would be extremely grateful if you could complete this form. ...click here to download

Paper copies of the questionnaire can also be obtained from local libraries and the North Lanarkshire Council .
