Local decisions are better when the people affected can take part. Current opportunities were checked on 17 September 2026.
Open consultations
Estates Strategy 2026–2036
South Lanarkshire Council is asking how its proposed ten-year plans for buildings and service locations could affect residents, local groups and access to services. These are proposals for consultation, not final decisions.
Local proposals include:
- Blantyre Leisure Centre: work to reduce operational carbon emissions.
- High Blantyre Primary School: boiler replacement.
- Auchentibber Adult Training Centre: carbon-reduction work and improvements to the building’s condition.
- Bardykes children’s residential care home: care-facility improvements.
- Hunthill Football Pavilion: identified as surplus or under-used in the proposed changes.
If a particular building matters to you, name it in your survey response and explain how the proposals could affect the people who use it.
Closing date: Tuesday 29 September 2026.
Read the consultation, view the local proposals or complete the survey.
The council says responses will inform a report to its Executive Committee in October 2026. We will link the report here when it is published.
