A prominent Lanarkshire tower block is set to be handed over to demolition contractors in the new year and torn down by mid-2024.
Eighteen-storey Jackson Court in Coatbridge is included in the first phase of North Lanarkshire Council’s housing project involving knocking down all 48 of its high-rise blocks over the next two decades.
Now the local authority has submitted official planning applications for its demolition – the first of three major tower blocks in the town centre set to be knocked down in the coming years.
