Round I
South Lanarkshire Council
South Lanarkshire Council covers 686 square miles and provides services to 307,000 people in central and southern Scotland. The Council has 67 elected members and almost 15,000 employees, and assumed responsibility for some or all of the work of five local authorities and one Development Corporation in April 1996.
South Lanarkshire spans through central and southern Scotland - cover the area from the Cathkin Braes to the Pentlands and down through the Southern Uplands. Those who think of South Lanarkshire as a west of Scotland council are surprised to find its eastern boundary is due south of the Forth Bridges. Its most southern boundary is just over half an hour’s drive from the border with England.
Ideally located with excellent communication links to the whole of the United Kingdom and beyond, South Lanarkshire has been out performing national trends in terms of employment growth and continues to attract inward investors of the highest quality.
Companies at the leading edge of computer technology develop the ideas and products that will take us through the 21st century while the soft fruit growers and market gardeners of the Clyde Valley maintain a tradition that can be traced back to Roman times.
South Lanarkshire Council faces the dual challenge of catering for the busy towns in the urban area of the north west while meeting the needs of residents in dozens of small villages and remote hill farms in its wide rural areas.
