Public to give views on redevelopment of East Kilbride town centre today
Two public consultation sessions will take place within East Kilbride Central Library in the Olympia mall. People are today being asked to share their views on the future of East Kilbride town centre. Savills has formally submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PoAN) for the redevelopment of Centre West, marking a "significant step" towards delivering a residential-led, mixed-use development in a bid to revitalise the area. The proposed development aims to transform the town centre, introducing a vibrant mix of residential properties alongside ancillary community uses next to the remaining town centre retail and leisure facilities. The plans also include a new civic building at the heart of the town centre capable of hosting arts and culture facilities, as well as public facing services, community spaces and office space for partners and a new outdoor public space. Two public consultation sessions will take place within East Kilbride Central Library in the Olympia mall - a permanent hub where the community can track the progress of the redevelopment throughout the entire project. They will be today (June 19) and August 14 from 12-7pm. Savills head of planning in Scotland, Alastair Wood, said: 'This project represents an exciting opportunity to reimagine East Kilbride town centre. By delivering a well-integrated residential-led development, the council aims to create a dynamic, sustainable community that meets the evolving needs of residents, businesses, and visitors alike.' The designated site, covering around 3.7 hectares, is situated within the heart of East Kilbride town centre, bounded by Cornwall Street to the north, the shopping centre to the east, and Rothesay Street to the south and west. As part of the planning process, South Lanarkshire Council said it is committed to engaging with local stakeholders and the community. A Vision for East Kilbride was published in 2023, with a reach of almost 10,000, and it is claimed much of the feedback has helped shape the current scope of the project. Lead architect Stefano Faiella of Threesixty Architecture says South Lanarkshire Council and the project team intend to work collaboratively with the community to deliver a transformative project aimed at strengthening East Kilbride's town centre and enhancing its appeal for future generations. He stated: 'The council recognises the importance of community engagement in shaping this transformative redevelopment. The Project Forum at the library is an ambitious idea to have a permanent home for the project; a place where we can listen , engage and tell the story of the project. "We want to foster a participatory approach and build a relationship of trust that helps us deliver a place that embodies the future vision of East Kilbride.'
