Plans for a new rail freight terminal just south of Glasgow have been emphatically rejected by the local authority. Logistics operator John G Russell Group had hoped to establish a terminal on the site of a former steel works at Ravenscraig. However, North Lanarkshire Council, the local authority, has voted overwhelmingly to reject their plans. Campaigners have hailed the result as a major victory, but there remains the likelihood of an appeal by the logistics company, asking the Scottish government to overrule the decision.
