Proposal for new housing ‘Carrickstone Park’ between Carrickstone and Dullatur Roundabouts

Please see attached documents regarding this proposal.

Although the Community Council is not against residential development, we feel that there are concerns on the lack of facilities and general infrastructure in this area of Cumbernauld that need to be addressed urgently. An example of an objection letter can be viewed by following the link.

We are getting a new play area

North Lanarkshire Council Play Services and the Friends of Cumbernauld Community Park invite local residents to come along and view the plans for the new destination play area which will be located in Cumbernauld Community Park.

This unique play space will incorporate dynamic rope play, play equipment suitable for children from toddlers to teens and a multi use games area. It will be situated behind the wind turbine adjacent to the Cumbernauld Primary and Saint Andrew's joint school campus.

New website

Broadband upgrade

To all users of the Internet in our area, here is a bit of news that should give us something to smile about!

It was announced earlier in the week by BT that the Cumbernauld Exchange is scheduled to get FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) during 2012. This will allow faster broadband speed to all broadband users.

Media Release

"71,000 More Scottish Homes and Businesses Set for Super-fast Broadband BT today announced that another 71,000 homes and businesses in Scotland will have access to its super-fast broadband network. The company also revealed that five million premises across the UK will be able to get the high-speed technology by the end of this month. For the first time, exchange areas outside the central belt are included in the investment programme, with two locations in the North East and one in the Highlands set for super-fast upgrades. Aberdeen’s Ashgrove and Denburn exchange areas, Nairn, Cumbernauld, Inverkeithing and Glasgow Scotstoun are the latest places set to benefit from BT’s £2.5 billion roll-out, with upgrades expected to be completed either near the end of 2011 or in 2012. It will take the number of Scottish homes and businesses passed by the new super-fast network to more than 286,000".
