With North Lanarkshire Partnership, we have launched a new community safety strategy to make the area a safer place to live, work, and visit.

Temporary CCTV cameras have been installed at a busy road section on the A725 at the junction of Kirkshaws Road and Whifflet Street in Coatbridge, to help with traffic monitoring and in response to concerns raised by the local community.

Illegal pavement parking will be enforced with a fine of up to £100 from Monday 24 March.

Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge is looking forward to hosting "The Artful Codgers", a remarkable free exhibition showcasing the artistic talents of three extraordinary Scottish friends who have each achieved greatness in their respective fields.

The brand-new barista bar on campus has opened, and pupils, staff, and the local community of Bothwellpark High School can now enjoy fresh coffee and tasty treats.
