Lenzie Place Plan
Lenzie Place Plan
The Lenzie Place Plan (LPP) has now been completed and submitted to East Dunbartonshire Council.
The Plan has been developed to reflect the priorities and aspirations of people living in Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch and to provide a community-led vision for how the area could develop and improve in the years ahead.
It brings together ideas and evidence gathered through previous community consultations and engagement, covering a wide range of issues including green spaces, housing, active travel, community facilities and the local environment.
The Lenzie Place Plan provides an opportunity for the community to have a stronger voice in decisions about the future of the area and to help influence future planning and investment.
Following its completion, the Plan has now been formally submitted to East Dunbartonshire Council (EDC) for consideration as a Local Place Plan.
LASKcdt would like to thank everyone who has contributed their views, ideas, information and support during the development 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
