Plans for South Lanarkshire Council to convert part of an East Kilbride shopping centre into a housing development have been given the go-ahead.

Councillors on the community and enterprise resources committee this week approved plans for the local authority to take ownership of Centre West Shopping Centre in the town due to years of significant decline leading to a third of the units in the facility being vacant.

Plans to demolish Centre West to make way for the housing development have been put in place with proposals to also develop a ‘Civic Hub’ at the site. Once ownership is transferred to the council, site demolition will be progressed quickly, this is due to ongoing maintenance costs, empty property rates, liabilities, security costs and the loss of ground rent.
