    Can South Lanarkshire Council use resources better?

    15 April 2021 /

    We sent a letter to the Chief Executive with our thoughts on how the council can improve. Earlier in the year, South Lanarkshire Council put forward a series of potential cuts to services and asked for comment. At the time the South Lanarkshire Greens wrote a letter to the council making a number of points.

The project’s aim is to provide more space for road traffic and so open up more greenfield sites for private development, which may not even happen.
