SNP GOVERNMENT SUPPORTING KIDS ACROSS NORTH LANARKSHIRE
Fulton MacGregor MSP has welcomed new figures which reveal £2.23M has been invested and over 13 play parks have been improved in North Lanarkshire, including those in Coatbridge & Chryston such as Scarhill Street in Kirksahws and Dunalastair Drive in Stepps.
The Scottish Government has provided £35 million to renew or improve play parks since May 2021 – £15 million in 2024/25 alone. A total of 887 play parks have been renewed, or were being renewed in Scotland, up to April 2024.
This investment is ensuring children across the country have safe places to play in their local community and is an important priority for First Minister John Swinney’s Government, supporting his mission to improve the lives of children across Scotland.
Commenting, SNP MSP Fulton MacGregor said:
“The SNP was right to commit to improving play parks for children across Scotland, and I’m pleased to see Coatbridge & Chryston reap the benefits of this investment.
“We know how important it is for children to have access to play areas – for development and for fun – and the investment will improve children’s wellbeing.
“That’s an SNP promise making a real difference in our community. That’s what you get with John Swinney’s SNP government.”
