Executive Summary 
The Corporate Asset Management Plan (CAMP) provides an overview of how the Council
is managing its assets to align to the Council’s Ambition Programme for 2021-2026 and
seeks committee approval to adopt the plan.  The CAMP presents an overview of how the
asset base is being managed and how it is aligned to the strategic direction of the
Organisation to both deliver and sustain an asset base that will meet the Council’s current

during this period and links into the on-going review and development of the 5 year Capital
Plan: 
• Maintain; 
• Rationalise;
• Invest; and
• Dis-invest. 
Recommendations

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Foreword
In North Lanarkshire we have a shared ambition. 
We want to be the place to Live, Learn, Work, Invest and Visit.
This updated CAMP which covers the period of the
existing 5 year capital plan, aligns with CIPFA best practice
and with the Council’s assets having the second highest
cost to the authority in relation to revenue expenditure, it is
important	that	they	are	well	managed,	maintained	and	fit	
for our current and future purposes.
Our updated CAMP covers assets over a breadth of
functions including:
y Office;
y Culture;
y Leisure;
y Community	Centres;
y Education	Facilities	(Town	&	Community	Hubs);
y Support;
y Depots;	and	
y Commercial Properties.
Where appropriate, we also look to work with other public
sector organisations to share the use of our facilities to
enhance integrated service delivery.
As we move forward in developing our Town & Community
Hub principles we would expect to see further service
delivery improvements.
Our	Digital	NL	programme	along	with	our	office/agile	
working model, including the development of a “One
Shared	Campus”	approach	continues	to	have	a	significant	
impact on how we deliver services now and in the future
and it is important that our asset planning strategy aligns
fully with these work programmes.
In managing our assets we have six overarching objectives:
1. Work towards the vision and ambitions of The Plan for
North	Lanarkshire;
2. Rationalise our asset base to better meet our current
and	future	business	needs;
3.	Carry	out	tactical	improvements	to	our	retained	assets;
4.	Ensure	that	our	retained	assets	are	as	carbon	efficient	
as	possible;
5. Continue to develop innovative methods of providing
new facilities and only provide these where there is a
compelling	business	need	to	do	so;	and
6. Demonstrate the requirements for any future capital
investment to be directed towards meeting the above
objectives.
As we continue to develop our service operational models
our assets are kept under constant review.
As part of our CAMP we actively encourage Community
Asset Transfer requests and this is an area we expect to
grow further over the period of this plan.

Executive Summary
North Lanarkshire is the place to Live, Learn, Work, Invest and Visit. This is our vision.
This is the Council’s third Corporate Asset Management
Plan aligned to best practice as per “A Guide to Asset
Management and Capital Planning,” published by the
Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy
(CIPFA). The plan also aims to address the principles set
out in PASS 55:2008, the revised default standard for
asset management which set outs the generic framework
for effective asset management planning.
After	staffing	costs,	the	Council’s	assets	are	the	second	
highest cost to the authority.  They play a pivotal role in
the support of a wide range of diverse services to our
residents. The quality of our assets has a direct relationship
with the success of the services they support.  Asset
& Procurement Solutions has strategic responsibility to
ensure	all	assets	remain	fit	for	purpose,	are	continuously	
improved and increasingly innovative and modern ways
are found to manage and maintain them. The investment
we	place	in	our	assets	is	reflective	of	the	value	we	place	on	
delivering services to our residents.
North Lanarkshire is Scotland’s fourth largest local
authority and Scotland’s largest social rented landlord
with 36,000 council houses.  The total resident population
is 341,400 people and covers 47,648 hectares (181 sq
miles) of land stretching from Kilsyth to Shotts.  It is ideally
situated	in	the	heart	of	Scotland	with	first-rate	connectivity	
to	the	rest	of	Scotland,	the	UK	and	the	World.		As	the	fifth	
most densely populated council area in Scotland, North
Lanarkshire is divided into 21 wards which are represented
by 77 elected members serving 9 community boards and
has a property asset value exceeding £2.6billion. 
At January 2022 there were around 1000 operational
assets totalling approximately £1.2b including Town &
Community Campuses, Care Homes, operational depots
and	offices;	along	with	non-operational	assets	such	as	
surplus land and property.  Across the council area, the
roads infrastructure includes 1575 km of carriageway, 199
traffic	management	systems/pedestrian	crossings,	2902	
km of footpaths/footways, 542 of bridge structures and
over 61,241 street lighting columns. The council’s leisure,
cultural and community facilities range from indoor and
outdoor sports facilities, community centres, museums,
libraries, and theatres.  The council’s technology
infrastructure	plays	a	significant	role	in	the	development	
of service delivery, and the technology assets include
circa 28,000 laptops, 14,500 desktops, 600 servers,
7,800 mobile devices, 11,800 tablets and 1,320 desktop
applications.  Through effective governance, linked to the
council’s Plan for North Lanarkshire, Asset & Procurement
Solutions lead on an integrated approach to Strategic
Asset Management Planning.  This supports the delivery of
the council’s ambitions and strengthen already established
and effective working relationships across the council with
our public sector partners.

Corporate Property Estate
This plan sets out the Council’s plans for the management, investment and disinvestment of our
assets for the period 2021-2026.
The management of our property assets involves a number
of	significant	elements	including	the	day	to	day	operations	
of	their	use	and	maintenance,	to	significant	renovation	and	
the development of new buildings in line with the Council’s
ambition for the ‘The Place, The Vision’ whilst developing
disposal and regeneration strategies for surplus assets to
tie in within the council’s overall Ambition Programme.
The Plan for North Lanarkshire, which is kept under
review, sets out clear ambition for future inclusive growth
and development through investment in Towns and
Communities.  It outlines the changes that are required
in order to deliver better services, address challenges
and manage the reduction in public spending.  It also
recognises the importance of close partnership working
with other agencies, communities and local people.
Our property asset base is very diverse and occupied
by various services and external agencies with individual
service identities.  As Hub operating models mobilise
across the estate, this will strengthen an already strong
and effective working relationship across the council and
with our public sector partners form an operational estate
accessible by our communities, our agile workforce and
partners.
During 2021, culture, leisure and the community estate
was reintegrated to the Council with the strategic
responsibility for North Lanarkshire Properties also being
incorporated within Asset & Procurement Solutions thus
providing the authority with the required strategic overview
to ensure the asset base is aligned to The Plan for North
Lanarkshire and create the one asset base to form a new
and developing North Lanarkshire Estate.
At present, the estate consists of 10 historical identities,
however the future ambition is to make our properties one
estate with plans to introduce a corporate landlord model
to provide consistency in the operations of our building
management and ensure the strategic direction and
operations align with the wider strategic objectives of the
authority in relation to our asset base and future operating
models.

Investment Strategy
Investment 2021-2026
The Council recognises the requirement for ongoing investment
across	its	property	estate	and	has	identified	investment	of	
£327,576m in its property estate over the 2021 - 2026 period. 
This is an increase from the previous capital allocation
recognising the requirement to invest not only in the future
but	the	current	estate.		It	has	been	identified	through	
the capital bidding process that whilst new provision is
a necessity, elements of the ageing estate requires to
continue to be maintained and invested in as the delivery of
the ambition of The Place, The Vision is progressed in-line
with the long-term strategy of the council.
Short- and medium-term strategic Investment in the
current estate requires to continue during the transitional
period.  Alignment of investment is  required to meet the
required low carbon agenda and the need for investment
in elements of the estate that are in the latter stages of
modernisation programmes.
Areas of investment are prioritised across the capital
programme based on condition, utilisation and suitability.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
The Corporate Asset Management Plan for 2021-2026
contributes to the achievement of the Council’s vision and
ensures our property assets continue to play an active role
in the delivery of services within facilities suitable to deliver
current and future operating models.
The new landscape of the corporate estate will fully align
to the DigitalNL transformation programme which has
seen investment in new technologies to create a more
collaborative way of working and delivery of services that
meets the needs and expectations of our communities in
an agile and responsive manner.   
A new building operating model has been mobilised to
maximise	and	fully	utilise	the	office	space	available	within	
our remaining estate.  This will be further supported by
provision created across our campuses to support agile
working which will help prepare staff transition to the One
Shared Campus aligned with the council’s ambition to
operate from a single civic base.
To deliver on the Council’s ambition, our future asset
management prioritises six overarching objectives:
7. Work towards the vision and ambitions of The Plan for
North	Lanarkshire;
8. Rationalise our asset base to better meet our current
and	future	business	needs;
9.	 Carry	out	tactical	improvements	to	our	retained	assets;
10.Ensure	that	our	retained	assets	are	as	carbon	efficient	
as	possible;
11.Continue to develop innovative methods of providing
new facilities and only provide these where there is a
compelling	business	need	to	do	so;	and
12.Demonstrate the requirements for any future capital
investment to be directed towards meeting the above
objectives.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Property Asset Management
Property assets are essential to the services delivered by North Lanarkshire Council. Managing
these	assets	is	a	structured	process	that	seeks	to	ensure	best	value;	continuous	improvement	in	
performance;	achievement	of	our	corporate	priorities;	and	service	modernisation.	
It is recognised that:
y Managing property assets effectively is a key element of
supporting	service	delivery;
y Property assets are a key driver of service
transformation	and	modernisation;
y The value of property assets both owned and leased by
the	council	is	significant;	and
y Properties are at the centre of public perception of our
local authority.
The property portfolio consists of two distinct types of
property operations:
Operational properties
Those that are used to directly support Council service
delivery such as schools, partnership centres and depots
together with those operated by partner organisations.
Outsourced and non-operational properties
These properties include those used to enable the
council to support local business space and economic
development, indirectly support corporate or community
planning objectives (i.e., third sector accommodation)
via North Lanarkshire Properties providing a revenue
and investment stream to assist further regeneration
decisions. This category also includes surplus assets for
disposal to support capital programmes and strategic land
development.
Influencing	factors
The management of our Asset Management objectives is
influenced	by	a	variety	of	factors,	summarised	as	follows:
y The Covid-19 pandemic and the restrictions this has
placed	on	the	use	of	buildings;
y Regulatory and statutory changes at both UK and
Scottish Government level occurring throughout the life
of this plan. These will be responded to and may affect
how	we	manage	and	improve	our	property	assets; 
y Best practice guidance issued by professional
organisations	or	other	relevant	bodies;
y Costs for energy, construction materials and
professional advice will vary during the plan period with
generally	upward	inflation	pressures	and	therefore	need	
to	be	considered	on	an	ongoing	basis;	
y Community Empowerment and in particular asset
transfer is encouraged particularly where communities
take	responsibility	for	the	management	of	local	assets;
y Services modernise in line with The One Plan to deliver
the	Town	&	Community	Hubs	ambition;
y Services evolve to new ways of working to align with
Hub	modelling;
y Services	support	the	delivery	of	the	office	rationalisation	
programme;
y Efficiencies	in	resource	usage	will	require	to	be	achieved	
to	reduce	long	term	operating	costs;	and
y The council is committed to reducing carbon and
improving	the	energy	efficiency	of	our	buildings.		This	
will	influence	planned	improvement	and	construction	of	
new assets with renewable energy sources.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Property Asset Valuations
There is a statutory requirement to value all property assets
annually with properties surveyed on a 5-year rolling programme in
line with RICS good practice.
Non-domestic properties have seen the asset value of the portfolio increase from £1b to £1.2b over the last 3 years.
Domestic properties have also seen an asset valuation increase from £900m to over £1b over the last 5 years with
housing stock increasing slightly due in part to the cessation of the right to buy scheme in 2016, the introduction of
council buy-back scheme and the new supply programme.  The new supply programme and the Scottish Government
Incentive schemes to purchase properties in the open market has seen the housing stock increased to nearly 37,000
with an ambition to achieve 5000 new houses by 2035.
Data Management
Assets have historically been aligned to a primary service area
however the Organisation has undergone various re-structures with
a number of property assets being aligned to new service identities. 
Our estate identity has evolved in recent years and it is now the case that all our property assets are held on a corporate
basis to promote shared utilisation, economy and effectiveness. This coupled with the recent integration of the Culture
and Leisure estate provides a more One Council approach to Asset Management.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Low Carbon Agenda
Since 2015/16 the council has developed a well-focussed approach to reducing its carbon
emissions, building on previous years.  This has seen improvements in areas such as governance,
leadership and performance.
A separate Climate Action Plan oversees this work and the
work contained within the council’s capital programme with
buildings being our largest carbon emitter. The Corporate
Asset	Management	Plan	provides	significant	input	to	
reductions in the carbon emissions which the council
makes.
A Scottish target of net zero emissions of all greenhouse
gas has been set for 2045.  However, in recognition
of the importance of climate change, the council
declared a climate emergency in 2019, committing it
to reduce council carbon emissions to zero by 2030. 
New legislation across a number of sectors including
transportation and housing will inform the way we design
new buildings and the refurbishment of our existing
stock towards zero carbon through legislative and policy
requirement.
The council has made good progress in its climate
journey and this is supported in the 56,714 carbon tonnes
equivalent (tco2e) reduction of its reported footprint
(Figure 1) which is nearly half of emissions reported in
its baseline year of 2015/16.  There has been steady
project	delivery	via	the	Non-Domestic	Energy	Efficiency	
Framework as well as the street light conversion
programme.  Internal policies have impacted on the
annual footprint such as the ‘bin amnesty’ in 2017/18 and
the increase in miles to be reported due to changes to
business	mileage	in	2021.		The	council	has	benefited	from	
the Clyde Valley Residual Waste Project in that Municipal
Waste	to	Landfill	emissions	has	been	reduced	by	77.24%.	
There	are	other	influences	which	enhance	our	progress	
such as the decarbonisation of the electricity grid that has
resulted	in	a	49.4%	reduction	in	the	emissions	generated	
by	1	kilowatt.	This	combined	with	a	24.88%	reduction	in	
electricity consumption has resulted in an overall reduction
of	61.99%	in	electricity	related	emissions.	The	two	
examples	highlighted	account	for	44.71%	reductions	in	
the emissions from the baseline.

Future Service Operations
One Campus
The Council’s ambition is to transfer its Civic operations to a new
campus	shared	with	other	public	sector	agencies.			The	office	
rationalisation programme is progressing to deliver immediate
efficiency	savings	and	prepare	for	this	transition.	
The strategic ambition of a proposed Shared Campus is a
partnering arrangement with other public service providers
engaging and sharing knowledge and resources along with
providing staff with an improved resource base to deliver
public services. 
The operations of council services within the One Campus
will be supported by the ongoing development of Town
and Community Hubs to ensure council services continue
to be provided to the community, within the Communities.
It is anticipated that future proposals for a One Campus
location will presented to Council late 2022 / early
2023 following a completed option appraisal following
engagement with the commercial marketplace.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Town & Community Hubs
As part of the Council’s Ambition Programme there is a well-established Town & Community Hub
programme with strong governance through a Project Board and reporting to committee. 
This area of the programme of work is responsible for
developing short, medium and long term strategies for
improving and replacing pre-1996 assets.
Guiding Principles
Hubs represents the biggest investment in infrastructure
across North Lanarkshire. They are also at the heart of
towns and communities. Given the ambition to replace
every school not replaced or remodelled since 1996, our
vision is to make these places for the wider community to
utilise rather than only the school community.
Town and Community Hubs will be co-located or
combined and integrated with other community and
partnership assets with all post construction 1996 assets
being utilised to support the HUB programme and
operating model.  
The design model uses six guiding principles:
y Inclusive,	universal	provision;
y Sense	of	community	ownership;
y Maximum	availability	usage;
y Designed	with	the	community;
y Tailored,	bespoke,	representative;	and
y Maximise services on offer.
Prioritisation Matrix
This work includes determining how each individual project
can be scored, and therefore compared, to other potential
projects.
This list was compiled with an initial focus on the highest
weighing factor in the matrix – that of ‘socio-economic
and wellbeing’.  Further work is carried out on the list of
potential	projects,	to	further	refine	the	list,	using	five	further	
prioritisation inputs. These assessments include:
1.	Assessment	on	deliverability	of	projects;	
2.	Ability	to	consolidate	older	assets	into	the	new	hub;	
3. Fit with other strategic programmes such as town
centre	visions,	parks,	or	housebuilding	programme;	
4. Review of school core facts: Condition, Occupancy,
Suitability;	and
5. Potential external funding – i.e. through LEIP.
Details of the prioritisation matrix were reported to
Committee in September 2021.
Delivery Programme
Policy and Strategy Committee approved the strategy,
guiding principles, and prioritisation matrix linked to the
Town and Community Hub Programme.
In line with programme of work, updates regarding this
programme are progressed through two strands: activity
related to the strategy is progressed via the Policy and
Strategy	Committee;	and	activity	related	to	hub	delivery	
projects is progressed via Education and Families
Committee.
Integrated Hubs
A set of guiding principles was designed and early hub
adopters	were	identified.		These	are	now	in	operation	and	
are used to further develop the design proposals for hubs
to be integrated.  3 locations across the authority were
initially	identified	for	mobilisation:	
y Calderhead	High	School,	Shotts;
y St	Andrews	High	School,	Coatbridge;	and
y Cumbernauld High School, Cumbernauld.

Office Rationalisation
The	Council	decision	to	commence	rationalistion	of	its	estate	in	2017	has	seen	a	15%	
reduction	in	its	office	base	and	increased	utilsation	of	the	remaining	buildings	by	40%.	
The	process	has	delivered	over	£2m	in	efficency	savings	from	this	period	
with future savings of £800k included in the 2022/23 Financial year budget.
The	office	rationalistion	programme	has	provided	opportunity	for	sites	to	
be redeveloped for  social rented housing across a number of our former
and	future	office	sites	assiting	with	the	council’s	ambition	to	delvier	on	an	
additional 5000 social rented houses by 2035. 
The impact of Covid-19 created opportunity and accelerated the councils
reduction	of	its	office	footprint	with	the	introduction	of	agile	working	
reducing	the	overall	office	space	requirement	further.		It	is	expected	that	
as we embed the new Hub operating model accross our post 1996 estate
and the mobilisation of digitalised services, this will further reduce the need 
for front line servcies to be provided in its natural form with limited face to
face interaction with service users and the hub operating model delivering
council services across its communities.
Learning Estate
The education estate operates under the umbrella of 2 operating models, 155
campuses are managed fully by the council and 23 campuses are managed through
a private public partnership arrangement.
Given the ambition to replace every school not replaced or remodelled
since 1996, our vision is to develop all campuses for the whole community
rather than only the school community.
On an annual basis all councils must produce core fact data about the
condition, utilisation and suitability of schools.

Page 21

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Private Public Partnership
A modernising estate programme was carried out creating 23 campuses which
have a contracted maintenance term alongside other contractual terms.
This area of the estate forms part of the foundation in supporting the
ambition of The Vision, The Place as their design and infrastructure will
also support the future operating models across the authority and will be
early adopters of the hub operating model that is being mobilised across
our estate as they are facilities designed and built for the future.
Physical adjustments will be undertaken to deliver on the operational
requirements with, for example, current sports and leisure facilities
supporting local community activity.
Culture Estate
The Culture estate supports creative arts across North Lanarkshire and has seen
considerable investment including the Lantern House which opened in the new
Cumbernauld Campus in 2021. 
A community partnership was formed to manage the provision.
Over the period of this plan, in conjunction with all other assets, future
operating models and an assessment of community need will require to
be carried out. All facilities will require to be reviewed to ensure provision
is	both	suitable	and	fit	for	purpose	to	serve	community	requirements.	
The Civic Theatre is directly associated with Motherwell Civic Centre and
will require to be included in any option appraisal for future use/service
delivery following the development of the One Campus should there be
an outcome to relocate from this site.

Leisure Estate
The leisure estate operates across the localities
and includes sports centres, leisure centres,
pavilions, swimming pools and outdoor play areas.
As the new hub operating model develops these facilities may be integrated to hub
projects whilst allowing access for community use
Community Estate
Community assets have differing operating
models, utilisation levels and opening times.
Future operating models are under review to help ensure that all assets can be
fully and strategically utilised by the community.

Health & Social Care
This element of the estate primarily supports the wider social work activities
including integrated day centres, residential care and adult services.
Whilst there is an aspiration to integrate an element of this service
area within the community hub operating model, there are a
number	of	specialisms	within	this	field	of	work	that	require	to	be	
isolated to ensure the appropriate care and support is provided. 
However, this does not restrict a future review of the asset base
and current utilisation of the facilities.
Similar to all other service areas, service redesign and
reconfiguration	of	operations	continue	during	the	period	of	this	
plan	to	deliver	efficiency	savings	identified	within	the	operational	
asset base. 
Depot Estate
The	depot	estate	has	reduced	its	asset	base	by	over	50%	in	the	last	5	years	
through the depot rationalisation programme with integration opportunities
identified	ensuring	the	remaining	site	location	meets	the	geographical	
requirements of operations.
Investment within the 2021 -2026 capital programme has been
identified	to	rationalise	and	modernise	the	depot	estate	further	to	
fulfil	the	future	operational	needs.	
Moving forward, the estate will require to be aligned to create a
centralised depot provision to meet the future operational needs
of	an	electric	fleet	and	the	operations	of	both	labour	workforces	
within waste management and land services.

Commercial Estate - 
North Lanarkshire Properties (NLP)
This area of the estate is manged by an Arm’s Length External Organisation
(ALEO) of the Council with an asset valuation of £65m.  Whilst North Lanarkshire
Properties are within sole ownership of the council, they operate independently
and are governed by a board which has elected member representation.
The estate is predominantly associated with industrial units, retail and
business centres generating over £6.3m of rental income per year
with an asset value of £65m and a debt provision of £36m as at April
2021.
Whilst there has been regular investment within the estate over the
last	5	years,	12%	of	its	stock	is	not	in	operational	use	due	to	capital	
investment requirements.
Partnership working with NLC continues to develop similar ambition
and strategic direction to deliver on both organisations ambition to
make North Lanarkshire the place to Live, Work, Invest and Visit.
Over the last 3 years, the partnership has delivered additional
industrial premises to support new business start-ups with further
developments scheduled for 2023. The rationalisation of the estate
has further supported town centre regeneration with the disposal of
properties prominently sited within town centres. 
The commercial activity across this section of the estate has been
challenging during the Covid 19 pandemic due to its diverse client
base. Whilst the industry has seen growth within the industrial sector,
the hospitality and retail sector have presented numerous challenges
across the business area to sustain their tenancies.  However, through
successful negotiations and support from NLPs primary lender, NLP
has	successfully	fulfilled	its	financial	obligations	to	its	current	lenders.	
The	ALEO	enters	its	10th	year	anniversary	and	requires	to	re-finance	
its loan arrangement in October 2023.  A Project Team has been
formed to ensure appropriate governance is in place and obtain the
required funds to manage its current loan requirement.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Commercial Estate - 
North Lanarkshire Council (NLC)
The council has retained an element of the commercial estate that is mixed
with legacy issues from former authorities.   Lease arrangements with
various external agencies and community groups require to be aligned
with current market conditions.
A review on the status of this section of the estate will be carried
out to ensure the appropriate support is in place to sustain these
historical lease arrangements where peppercorn rents were
previously agreed.
The estate has seen limited investment by its current tenant
base and whilst it historically supports community activity, the
sustainability of these groups requires to be realigned with
the council’s ambitions within our future operating estate and
whether other assets would be better placed to support the
group.

Corporate Asset Management 2022
Community Asset Transfer
As the Council continues to rationalise its estate and modernise service
delivery	through	the	digitisation	agenda	and	deliver	on	efficiency	
savings, the increasing need for third sector groups, legislation allows for
community formed groups to adopt and manage any government building
to deliver services.
Whilst the rationalisation process of our estate is not necessarily
cessation of service delivery, it is evident that many groups prefer
single use facilities however this is not within the council future
operating model. The majority of the school estate is under-
utilised due to historical operating models.  The hub operating
model will create increasing opportunity for groups, to make
better use of these facilities to support community activity.
Whilst numerous community groups reference community asset
transfer as a preferred option to closure of community, leisure
and	culture	facilities,	the	reality	of	groups	having	the	financial	
ability and expertise for a property asset to transfer to a group
has a low success rate.  As such there is a need to review
our focus in community engagement to work with community
groups to develop better utilisation of our Town & Community
Campuses.
Through our community partnership teams, our policies on lease
and transfer arrangements of property assets to community
groups continues to be reviewed alongside Community
engagement policies to ensure close alignment with the Plan for
North Lanarkshire.

Housing Assets
Guided by the Scottish Housing Regulator’s ‘recommended practice’ on strategic asset   
management, the cross-service Housing Asset Management Working Group began to review 
its strategic housing asset management approach in late 2019.
This work culminated in the development of a high level
plan reported to council committee which sets out the
Council’s ambitions and the key actions which will be
delivered	over	the	next	five	years.
Inspired by the recent centenary of Council housing in
North Lanarkshire, the vision set out in the Housing Asset
Management	Plan,	of	‘homes	fit	for	the	future’,	articulates	
our ambitions to modern day challenges and embrace
technological change.
This Housing Asset Management Plan is realised by
delivering	on	five	key	priorities:
y We help deliver the homes North Lanarkshire needs 
to	grow;
y We	provide	high-quality,	well-maintained	homes;
y We	tackle	climate	change	and	fuel	poverty;
y We	improve	our	systems	and	our	use	of	data;	and
y We will deliver homes for the future.
The Housing Asset Management Plan contains 43
separate actions, delivering on 15 individual milestones.
These are a mix of actions which have previously been
committed to, with the Housing Asset Management Plan
providing a framework for strategic review and reporting,
and	new	ones	identified	during	the	development	of	the	
Plan.
The Housing Asset Management Plan has been endorsed
by the North Lanarkshire Federation of Tenants’ and
Residents’ Association and is governed by Council
Committee.
The	plan	for	managing	our	housing	assets	over	the	five	
years between 2021 and 2026, aligns with both our
Corporate Asset Management Plan and The Plan for North
Lanarkshire and other key strategies, policies and plans. 
Together this strategic policy framework ensures that
work is aligned with our priorities and enables the required
resources and working practices needed to facilitate
delivery of the shared ambition.
Since its inception more than a century ago, the primary
role of Council housing has been to meet the needs of
households and communities in housing need. Today,
36,000 homes – housing almost three in every ten
(29.3%)	households	in	North	Lanarkshire	-	are	owned	
and managed by the Council, with nearly 8,000 more
households on the waiting list for social rented housing in
the area.
This	changing	demographic	profile	will	have	significant	
implications for housing and for care in the area - with
increasing need and demand for smaller, accessible,
and digitally connected homes. At the same time,
analysis	of	the	waiting	list	finds	that	demand	for	flatted	
accommodation, particularly in tower blocks, continues
to decline.  The Council is responding to these trends in
a number of ways. This includes through our NL Homes
Programme, which aims to deliver 5,000 new affordable
homes by 2035.  The Programme began in 2010, when 20
new homes were delivered at Main Street and Spruce Way
in	Holytown,	the	first	new	Council	houses	in	a	generation.		
The programme accelerated from 2016 with the Council
making	a	significant	contribution	to	national	targets	for	
new social and affordable homes.  In total, we have built
or bought around 1,200 homes and we will continue to
deliver	new	homes	at	pace,	at	least	10%	of	which	will	be	
built to ‘wheelchair standard’.

Page 28

24
Corporate Asset Management 2022
Plans for the next 5 years include for 132 new homes on
the site of the former St Columba’s school in Coatbridge,
100 homes to help regenerate the Gowkthrapple area in
Wishaw and new developments in towns the length and
breadth of North Lanarkshire - from Stepps in the west to
Shotts in the east.
Performance
The Council provides high quality, well-maintained homes
and has a legal duty to repair and maintain our homes,
to meet obligations set out in tenancy agreements
and statute, and our tenants rightly also expect timely
maintenance and responsive repairs services. This is
reflected	in	the	importance	given	to	maintenance	and	
repair matters in the Annual Return on the Charter.
(ARC), a yearly exercise coordinated by the Scottish
Housing Regulator to assess social landlords.  Landlords
must report on 32 separate performance indicators, many
of which directly relate to the condition of homes and how
they are managed.  Key indicators include the:
Average length of time taken to complete non-emergency
repairs;
Percentage of reactive repairs carried out during the last
year	which	were	completed	right	first	time;	
Number of failures to meet annual requirement to carry out
a	gas	safety	check,	where	required;	and	
Percentage	of	tenants	satisfied	with	the	repairs	and	
maintenance service which they have received.
Investment
Investment work is delivered as part of the capital
investment programme which directs millions of pounds
each year into improving Council homes. Over the past
five	years	this	includes	nearly	£69m	on	new	bathrooms,	
£56m on new windows and doors and more than £45m
on new kitchens.  We expect to deliver £295m investment
over	the	next	five	year	period,	with	a	particular	focus	on	
replacement roofs and render, new heating systems and
ensuring	our	homes	are	fire	safe.	During	this	period,	we	will	
also re-clad a number of our tower blocks and upgrade all
of our sheltered plus complexes
With some limited exceptions (where properties are
exempt or in ‘abeyance’), all of our homes meet the Energy
Efficiency	Standard	for	Social	Housing	(EESSH).	
We will bring these properties up to as high an energy
performance standard as we can and ensure that our
remaining homes meet the standard.  Initial estimates
suggest that it will cost £225m to do so with measures
ranging from the installation of low-energy lighting to
maximise insulation levels in our homes and installing low
carbon and renewables technologies.

The move towards replacement of the heavy goods vehicles (HGV) in the Council
fleet	will	be	somewhat	slower.	There	are	several	reasons	for	this,	price,	technology,	
along with the current debate between electric and hydrogen.  The graph below
provides	an	indication	as	to	where	the	HGV	fleet	will	be	positioned	up	until	2030/31.
The	development	of	depots	will	also	include	future	proofing	
the facilities to ensure they are able to accommodate the
current and future plans of the Council to move towards
an	electric	/	low	emission	fleet	in	line	with	Government	
guidance and to assist in delivery of the Council’s ambition
to achieve net zero emissions by 2030.

Road Assets
The Road Asset Management Plan (RAMP) records the Council’s plans for the maintenance of the
Road infrastructure. 
The purpose of the RAMP is to formalise strategies for
investment	in	road	asset	groups,	define	service	standards	
and to improve how the road asset is managed, thereby
enabling a better value for money road service to be
delivered.
The public road network in North Lanarkshire is the largest
and one of the most visible community assets for which
the council is responsible with a gross replacement cost in
excess of £2.6 billion.  The Council’s Road assets are:
Carriageways - 1575 Km
Footways - 2,282 Km
Footpaths - 620 Km
Structures - Bridges - 542
Street Lighting  - 61,241
Traffic Management Systems - 56 Junctions and 143
Pedestrian Crossings.
The asset grows each year due to the adoption of new
roads and construction of new Road links.  Over the last 5
years the following additional assets have been adopted by
the council:
Carriageways   35 km
Footways   60 km
Street Lighting  3,500
New assets create the need for maintenance,
management and associated funding in future years as
these additional assets age. 
Carriageway Condition
The carriageway condition is measured by the road Condition
Indicator. This is a machine survey carried out nationally
through a collaborative Contract. North Lanarkshire’s
Performance over the period is as detailed below:
The percentage of the road network that should be
considered for maintenance treatment overall is the annual
summation	of	the	red	and	amber	figures.

Tree Assets
North	Lanarkshire	Council	has	a	significant	tree	resource,	much	of	which	is	mature	or	over	mature.		
Across the Council the full extent and condition of the asset is entirely unknown and not under any
proactive management.
Tree	failure	has	been	identified	as	a	risk	in	Environmental	
Assets Risk Register and undoubtedly exists as an issue
across	any	tree	asset	owner,	as	significant	tree	assets	
also sit within other Council services such as Housing
and Education. The establishment and implementation
of a centralised co-ordinated and managed tree asset
management strategy will address this and serve to
minimise the liability to the Council.
The Council will use the QTRA system to deliver its
strategy. QTRA is a commonly used industry standard tool
which assists tree safety inspections and management
and has been adopted by many local authorities in the
UK. The system applies established and accepted risk
management principles to tree safety management.
An	initial	desktop	GIS	analysis	identified	areas	of	Council	
tree assets. Following this a zoning exercise was carried
out, with survey areas categorised into high, medium
and low        risk zones based on site usage and non-
motorised access this contributes to a cost-effective
approach to tree survey assessment.

ICT Assets
All of the Council’s hardware has asset tags applied at time of deployment with the
exception of mobile phones. 
A	CMDB	(Configuration	Management	Data	Base)	is	held	within	the	Council’s	
IT Service Management tool which stores information on hardware used
within the organisation.  This includes information on end user devices
(laptops	and	desktops),	servers,	network	switches	and	firewalls.		
Assets are added to the CMDB as part of the deployment process and are
removed from CMDB as part of the disposal process. Further to this, the
Mobile Device Management solutions used within the environment (Microsoft
Intune for Corporate and MobileIron for Education) holds information for the
mobile device estate (mobile phones, Samsung Tablets & iPads).
Conclusion
In developing the updated 5-year Corporate Asset Management Plan covering the
areas	of:	Corporate	Property;	Housing	Assets;	Fleet	Assets;	Environmental	Assets;	and	
ICT it is important to recognise that although The Plan covers a 5-year period, this is an
evolving document and it is important to review and monitor it on an ongoing basis.
The Council’s Ambition Plan has a key impact on the use of our assets
going forward with fundamental changes in service delivery required to be
implemented.
As well as delivering on this Ambition, the Corporate Asset Management
Plan provides a clear steer as to how we manage our assets both effectively
and	efficiently.
The Corporate Asset Management Plan will be reviewed on an annual basis
with updates provided on key areas to Council committee on a regular basis.
