Thanks for the update. I saw something in the 'Bellshill Speaker' about this a while ago (my wife is from Bellshill so gets a regular supply of the local rag and sometimes I have a wee look). There was an article about plans to redevelop that area between the war memorial and the roundabout.

You can see here for more details of the bid from N. Lanarkshire Council's webiste
