Mr. Mason

The Board of Trade owns some 210 acres of land suitable for industrial development in North Lanarkshire. 140 acres of this is on the seven main industrial estates at Bellshill, Blantyre, Carfin, Chapelhall, Coatbridge, Larkhall and Newhouse; and the remainder on smaller sites.

Services for this land, where not already available, can be provided as development takes place.
