Owenstown Co-operative Society (Co-op) will lead in the establishment of the new settlement at Owenstown. This will follow a long history of new towns in South Lanarkshire, including New Lanark.
The Co-op is still at a formative stage in its evolution but has an appointed its first Chairman – Jim Arnold MBE
Following the public response to the proposals, it is intended to set up a Steering Group to consider the next stages in the development of Owenstown. This Steering group will continue to work closely with the Hometown Foundation.
Part of this on-going process will be to develop relationships with the Council and other organisations operating in the locality.
