COUNCILLORS in North Lanarkshire have approved plans to close 39 facilities across the local authority including the Sir Matt Busby Sports Complex in Bellshill.
He admitted the facilities that will shut are"highly valued" by communities but said the council could no longer afford to fund them. The group further added:"Today we saw the Labour and Tory administration vote to shut down 39 of North Lanarkshire’s Active and Creative Communities facilities with the help of an Independent councillor.
“We have been working with SNP group leader Tracy Carragher to find a way for these Labour cuts to be stopped; North Lanarkshire should use the tens of millions due to them over the coming years from the Strathclyde Pension Fund surplus to embark on a programme of repair and upgrade to bring facilities up to standard.”
