Abronhill Regeneration Forum

15/08/2026

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

Abronhill Shopping Centre filming - 5th August

Filming will be taking place for the new series of crime drama Rebus on Wednesday 5th August at Abronhill Shopping Centre. The car park next to Abronhill Parish Church will be restricted from 6pm on Tuesday 4th until 8pm on Wednesday 5th August.

Access will be maintained for homes and businesses at these times, although pedestrians may be asked to wait for a short time during filming. It's great to see Cumbernauld continuing to attract professional TV and film productions, almost 60 years on from when the town featured in the first worldwide satellite television broadcast.

If anyone has had cause to require it, please can you private message us? We don’t need to know any background, it would just be good to have it back ready for when it’s needed.

Our next litter pick planned for 9th August, with our regular meeting the following night.

Thanks as always to Councillor Adam Smith - Cumbernauld East who continues to be a big supporter.

Thanks as always to our local Councillor supporting the community

Broom Road play area

I was recently made aware of concerns with the wooden shelter at the Broom Road play area in Abronhill, with one of the supports having been vandalised. I reported this to council officers and they have attended today to fence off the shelter and to keep people out for their safety.

The structure will be assessed in the coming days and a decision made on what works are necessary. I hope any required repairs will be carried out and the shelter reopened for use as soon as possible.
