Work starts on allotments

Work has started to create a new community allotment on the former travellers site in Kirklee Road, Mossend, which has been lying derelict for more than 20 years.

A year ago North Lanarkshire Council applied for £200,000 from the Scottish Government’s Vacant and Derelict Land Fund (VDLF) Programme to support the development.

The VDLF is a ring-fenced capital grant which provides financial support to assist with the regeneration of sites across selected local authorities.

The works at Mossend build on a similar VDLF investment made in the successful development of community allotments at Viewpark Gardens in 2016.

The Kirklee Road Community Allotments are due to open at the end of August.
