North Lanarkshire Council is inviting residents to attend a public consultation on future development in the region.

The public will be given the chance to submit their views on a Draft Strategic Development Framework for the South Cumbernauld Community Growth Area (CGA).

In 2006, the CGA was identified as one of three areas where new housing and community facilities could be built to meet increasing demand.

It is understood up to 2,000 new homes and supporting local facilities could be created by 2025.

The council has produced a Draft Strategic Development Framework as a blueprint for the type and scale of development that would be allowed.

Developers are required to submit individual proposals for each of the two CGA sites at Palacerigg and Mid Forest.

The drop-in events will take place at:

• Abronhill Community Facility, from 2pm to 9pm on 19 January and 10am to 4pm on 23 January.

• Greenfaulds Community Centre, from 2pm to 9pm on 28 January.

• The Link Community Facility, from 10am to 4pm on 30 January.
