Makeover plans to tidy up a corner by town health centre

North Lanarkshire Council has drawn up plans to enhance the corner of Windmillhill Street / Camp Street by Motherwell Health Centre.

The project has been developed from the ‘ Motherwell Charrette’ public consultation event, which was held last year.

Councillor Paul Kelly, Depute Leader of North Lanarkshire Council, said: “The aim is to provide a more welcoming and attractive space for the many people who use the area and the health centre.

“The plans look impressive and will go a long way to improving the appearance of the town Windmillhill Street as a main route through the town centre.”

The proposal can be viewed on line at www. northlanarkshire. gov. uk/ motherwell and at Motherwell Library from October 22-31.

The proposal includes:

De m o l i s h i n g the two brick planters on Windmillhill Street and removing the trees within the planters

Removing the pine trees and shrubs in the planters on Camp Street and replacing them with low plants and shrubs

Providing new LED lighting

Removing the bollards in the footpath

Providing new seating, including benches with tables, to replace the existing benches

New tree and shrub planting

Installing a wooden screen on the Health Centre side of the site to create a sense of enclosure
