Volunteers from a community organisation are celebrating after taking over their village hall – with plans to create a busy local hub including a cafe and soft play area. ‌

Soul of the Junction has been granted a 20-year lease to breathe new life into Carstairs Junction hall after the charitable group successfully applied to take over its running through South Lanarkshire’s community asset transfer process. ‌

The Lanarkshire Live app is available to download now.
