Contract Summary

In March 2020, North Lanarkshire Council approved the publication of its draft Town Visions recognising Cumbernauld, the largest town within the local authority area, as one of the major towns that should form part of its core investment programme for ‘The Place – The Vision’ for North Lanarkshire. Considering the town’s strategic location and its town status,Cumbernauld has become a recognised commercial location with a mix offering business parks, industrial accommodation and retail shops. However, the town centre is largely retail dominated by the ‘the Centre Cumbernauld, Cumbernauld Shopping Centre’ (known jointly as ‘The Centre Cumbernauld’ (TCC)) together with the more modern Antonine Centre, along with two large office blocks and a further education college. This mix is no longer fit for purpose and does not meet the needs and aspirations of residents, many of whom now travel to nearby Glasgow or Stirling to shop, bypassing the TCC which many considered a blot on the urban landscape. TCC was built in the 1960 / 70s and occupies an extensive site in the middle of Cumbernuald town centre. Formed on either side of a major public road (Central Way/A8011) and connected by overhead pedestrian foot bridge / walkway, it extends to over 5 hectares in size including car parks. However, a lack of investment over several years has meant that the centre itself is in relatively poor condition (requiring extensive repairs and improvement if it was to be retained as an operational asset in the longer-term). The Council acquired the TCC in June 2023 in order to unlock transformational regeneration of Cumbernauld town centre and kick start the redevelopment of a mixed-use town centre space that will incorporate a Town Hub. This redevelopment will also stimulate private sector housing delivery, assembling land for residential use, enable development of much needed new homes and will contribute towards the regeneration of Cumbernauld into one of the eight towns recognised in North Lanarkshire Town Visions.
