A new £23m council services facility has opened in North Lanarkshire.

The Houldsworth Centre was developed by the council alongside NHS Lanarkshire and is located on Kenilworth Avenue in Wishaw.

The centre includes a library, housing office, Municipal Bank, a cafe and a 'First Stop Shop' which provides easy access to council services.

The new building also contains GP and dental practices along with a range of other health services.

The First Stop Shop, Municipal Bank and library are all located together in an open plan area, with private interview rooms available.

Other features include a meeting room with a projector and smart board.

A former health centre building will also be demolished to make space for a two-storey car park with 190 spaces.

This is scheduled to open in March 2016.
