Grass sports pitches in four areas of North Lanarkshire are to be converted to upgraded synthetic surfaces – but rising costs means proposed additional improvements to a number of existing pitches will not go ahead.
Fields at Glenmanor Avenue in Moodiesburn, one beside Cleland Primary, at Hawthorn Drive in Harthill and either Warnock Crescent or Calder Road in Mossend are to be converted into synthetic surfaces as agreed in the council’s budget in February.
