A theme park in Motherwell could be significantly expanded if councillors agree to the proposals.

The owners of M&D’s, which borders Strathclyde Country Park, are seeking permission to expand the boundaries of the theme park to include vacant land it periodically uses and build a permanent expansion.

An M&D’s spokesperson said: "The expansion is a £3 million investment and includes plans for an all-weather dome, additional events space, a new ride as well as the addition of 37 rooms to The Alona Hotel, including a spa and treatment room area.

"The expansion will see the creation of 90 additional full time and part time permanent jobs across the theme park."
