Abronhill Regeneration Forum

07/10/2026

We were extremely disappointed today to learn that one of recently installed sensory boards has been vandalised for the second time. The rocks that had been used to smash up two of the panels had been left in front of the board.

Abronhill Regeneration Forum works tirelessly to try and introduce new features in our community, and it is upsetting that there are (as there are in every community) people who would much rather destroy than embrace.

Our funds are currently very limited, so we must now decide whether we can realistically afford to make the necessary repairs, particularly if this is going to become a pattern.

Abronhill Parish Church are looking for volunteers to help serve soup, tea and coffee at their "Welcome Space" on a Tuesday from 11am until 2pm (times have changed since the poster was made). There would be two shift times 10-12pm and 12-2pm which would fit in with school times for anyone looking for voluntary work. If you can help in any way please DM the church's FB page.

As the days get shorter and the weather starts to change, it can be a little harder to stay active. That's why we're encouraging local residents, groups, workplaces and community organisations to get involved in Walking Scotland’s Autumn Step Count Challenge.

The challenge starts on Monday 12 October and runs for 6 weeks, providing a fun and motivating way to keep walking, wheeling and moving throughout the autumn months. Participants can take part as part of a team, track their activity, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition while supporting their health and wellbeing.

Whether you're already active or looking for motivation to get moving more regularly, we'd love to see as many people as possible from our communities taking part.

Please message the page if you would like to advertise in any of our community noticeboards. They can only be used for non-profit community groups, clubs or events. I’m afraid we cannot advertise private ventures such as childminding, etc.

Our noticeboards are located at Whitelees Road, Cedar Road and Hornbeam Road.

Larch Road restrictions - 21st to 25th September

No waiting and loading restrictions will be in effect for Larch Road in Abronhill from Monday 21st until Friday 25th September, when signposted. The restrictions will include closure of the bus stop and taxi rank next to Abronhill Parish Church, to be replaced with a pedestrian walkway, and creation of a temporary bus stop. These restrictions are to allow for works to take place to telecoms equipment in that area.

Abronhill Regeneration Forum are currently in discussions with North Lanarkshire Council regarding a project to revitalise the underpass linking Maple Road with Whitelees.

Similar projects have been completed in Kildrum, and naturally align with the aims of the Forum.

See photos below of how it looks currently.

We’d like your views on what how such a project would look, and invite local residents to select from three options.

1: Leave the current design, simply refreshing the paintwork and undertaking any repairs
2: a redesign encompassing a more up-to-date representation of 2026 Abronhill and wider areas.
3: something different!

Please be aware that final approval lies with NLC.

We invite responses via this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNv0NT8vsdpoA3PMo8kZTLYjPtEoBcV7C3OJjC4SYLCLXG6w/viewform?usp=publish-editor
