Find out about the Lord Lieutenant

Pupils develop new info website

A new website has been launched to capture the activity of the area’s Lord Lieutenant.

Lady Susan Haughey CBE has teamed up with high school pupils to create the website, which will provide an insight into her interesting role as Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire.

As part of the project, pupils will develop essential work skills in IT, web development and copy writing.

The website features an overview of the history of the Lord Lieutenant’s office, including an interactive map of the area the Lanarkshire Lieutenancy covers.

There is also a news section with details of the events the Lord Lieutenant and her deputies have recently been involved in.

Additional features include information on nominations for awards and significant milestones, such as diamond wedding anniversaries and 100th birthday celebrations.

There is also information on the nomination process for honours, the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service and the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.

Lady Haughey CBE said: “I was delighted to meet the pupils and to formally launch the website.

“I hope people find it a useful way of getting to know more about what the Lieutenancy for Lanarkshire does in the area.

“I would like to thank the pupils, teachers and staff from North and South Lanarkshire Councils for all their hard work and dedication in helping prepare the website.”

“The involvement of schools in this project is a good example of our commitment to engage with all schools in Lanarkshire and builds on the links recently established with a number of schools who have attended citizenship ceremonies hosted by both North and South Lanarkshire Councils.”
