To ask the Scottish Executive what assistance it can provide any residents of the Luggiebank area of the Cumbernauld and Kilsyth parliamentary constituency who have concerns about the potential environmental and personal impact of activities associated with a local plastic coating company and how open the process for any such assistance would be with regard to providing information that would (a) allay fears should nothing be untoward and (b) allow full disclosure of any irregularities found.

The answer

The Executive is not aware of any environmental or public health issues concerning a plastic coating company in the Luggiebank area. If residents have any such concerns they should contact either the Scottish Environment Protection Agency's East Kilbride office or the Environmental Health Department of North Lanarkshire Council.
