South Lanarkshire Council Community Wish List

The Community wish list is a new way that local communities can make requests, or wishes, for specific support from council suppliers or contractors that will benefit their community, projects, and causes.

The main advantage of this is communities can make requests that best meet their needs and allows suppliers who provide goods and services to the council to support these requests.

If you think your company or organisation could answer a wish, please follow this link Community Wish List - South Lanarkshire Council
