The public have hit out at plans that could see the town without a civic building and bring about the permanent closure of the Ballerup Hall
South Lanarkshire Council Leader Joe Fagan has moved to alleviate local concerns over the sale of East Kilbride Civic Centre.
BCW Wrestling has hired out the venue for 21 years and entertained hundreds of local fans at 86 shows. The council has given the green light for a "bold" £62.2m, 10-year masterplan that "will radically transform the shopping and leisure destination into a vibrant, high-quality urban environment". It is hoped the move will drive an annual footfall of approximately 15 million, returning to pre-pandemic levels. A national supermarket chain and a budget hotel have so far been granted leases.
