If the plans are ratified it could mean more than £500,000 will be spent improving the town centre over the next five years.

The BID has already been given the thumbs-up by South lanarkshire Council and NHS Lanarkshire who have both confirmed that they will vote Yes in the postal ballot.

Leading local companies, such as Ramsay of Carluke, have also given the plans the thumbs-up.

If successful, the BID team will introduce a customer loyalty scheme, online promotional initiatives and themed events and festivals.
