South Lanarkshire Council in the running for four national awards

South Lanarkshire Council has been nominated for four national transport awards.

The local authority is up for four 2022 Scottish Transport Awards which will be held in September.

The awards have been postponed over the last two years due to the pandemic and restrictions.

Out of the 15 categories available this year the council has been listed in the following four: School Travel Plans – best practice in travel to school and work schemes, Casualty Reduction Programme – most effective road safety, traffic management and enforcement, Cambuslang Park and Ride contribution to sustainable transport, Project PACE – transport team/partnership of the year.

Robert Brown, chairman of community and enterprise resources, said: “I'm delighted that these projects and programmes are being recognised.

"They reflect all the hard work and dedication that goes in across South Lanarkshire to make a wide variety of travel options as safe and sustainable as possible for everyone in our communities.

“After a two-year gap, it is great that these awards are taking place once more and I look forward to hearing the results with hopefully a few accolades along the way for our roads, transportation and fleet services.”

The awards, which are supported by the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland, Network Rail and The Railway Industry Association, will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow on September 29.
