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!
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”
