Lenzie Place Plan Approved and Validated
Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch Community Development Trust (LASKcdt) is pleased to confirm that the Lenzie Place Plan has now been formally approved and validated by East Dunbartonshire Council’s Place, Neighbourhood and Corporate Assets Committee.
The Plan was considered by the Committee on 27 August 2026, following its submission to East Dunbartonshire Council earlier in August.
The Lenzie Place Plan brings together the priorities and aspirations identified through community engagement and consultation and sets out a community-led vision for the future of Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch. It covers a wide range of issues including green spaces, housing, active travel, community facilities and the local environment.
Validation of the Plan represents an important milestone and means that the views and aspirations expressed through the Lenzie Place Plan can now help inform future planning and decision-making affecting the area.
LASKcdt would like to thank everyone who contributed their views, ideas, information and support during the preparation of the Plan.

Lenzie Community Hub
LENZIE COMMUNITY HUB: A place for everyone!
Since the meeting in June Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch Community Development Trust (LASKCDT) has made contact with all the professionals that are necessary to compile and submit a bid to refurbish and run Lenzie Public Hall as a community asset. There have been discussions with EDVA, EDC, architects, quantity surveyors and lawyers to ensure the best bid possible is submitted.
The bid will have a significant focus on developing a community based service supporting children and adults with learning difficulties. People with neurodivergent conditions will also be supported by this community based service. One aim is to make the building a place for those with learning disabilities and those who are neurodivergent, a safe space where they feel valued and understood, and gives them a purpose in life. For that we hope, with the support of organisations like acorns2trees and the support of the local community, we can develop such a venue.
In addition the hall will have a community cafe and there will be available spaces for any locally based activities that wish to hire the hall either on a one off or recurring basis. A suggestion which we hope to take forward is that of a small business hub, somewhere you could meet clients, or associates, and share a coffee and chat.
LASKCDT proposes to lease the Public Hall from EDC and work in partnership with EDC to refurbish and maintain the hall so it is a community asset for future generations. The other important group LASKCDT wish to involve in planning activities within the hall are young people from 1 to 25 years old as it is very important that our young people have meaningful activities and a place where they can meet their friends and develop their interests in a supportive environment.
Many thanks to all who attended and raised hands in support of the idea of Lenzie Community Hub
