You would hope the planners at GCC have taken into account the Ambulance Station at the Victoria Road end of Butterbiggins Road and its need for fast exit from it.
Interesting that a petrol station is planned. There was of course already one there at the corner of Butterbiggins Road and Victoria road. it didn't flourish and was subsequently shut down and demolished. I wonder what the economic case is for another one, when one has already failed in that area.
Another issue is the decontamination of the Larkfield site. There has been an issue in Motherwell, when First sold the old Traction House site, that they didn't decontaminate the site before leaving and the new developers will have to do that. Given First got the old Central SMT site for peanuts following deregulation (and I would presume Larkfield won't have cost much in the scheme of things either) them maybe the onus should be on them to do it. At present it would seem the Motherwell site will take two years to decontaminate (that development was also held up by planning issues) I would imagine Larkfield will not be much different.
