Town Status for Shotts
.We are in the centre of Scotland, half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh, with major road and rail link. We have a population of 8400 people, thats a bit high for a village.
North Lanarkshire Council give Shotts the Town status it deserves!
North Lanarkshire Council give Shotts the Town status it deserves!
Why is this important?
Many people don’t know that North Lanarkshire Council do not regard Shotts as a Town.
The Council prefer to divide our community into two neighbourhood centers of Stane and Dykehead.
In 2013 Councillor Cochrane and Councillor Cefferty put a motion to North Lanarkshire council that Shotts be recognized as a Town. This was defeated, Shotts is still not regarded as a Town.
Our community cannot apply for Town Centre regeneration as to quote North Lanarkshire Council, “Shotts is not a Town”
