It was brought on board by Jamie Hepburn MSP and MP Stuart McDonald.

As a start-up point the two Scottish Nationalists have launched a survey as a means of shaping the process - and are hoping that a high number of residents will complete it

In a joint statement, Mr Hepburn and Mr McDonald said: “The challenges facing the centre are well documented, including issues like parking, bus services and diversity of retailers.

“If the town is to meet these challenges, all the owners and organisations responsible need to work together to build a vibrant future.

“STP have expertise in advising towns how to revitalise their town centres.

“They are happy to help Cumbernauld start this process and advise all of those with an interest in Cumbernauld town centre on how to start developing an action plan.”
