Now a separate consultation process is underway with the regard to the location of new community hubs in both Motherwell and Bellshill which will also be created by North Lanarkshire Council via two online meetings being held next week.

A public engagement scheme will get underway at each meeting to helps decide the sites for the new amenities which will incorporate a number of council services including schools.
