Labour — Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2026

Debate

New Towns

Contribution

The fact that you could not go anywhere in the ’80s without seeing that statement meant that people across the country knew about Cumbernauld. I remember seeing that wording on the tube on my first trips to London. Other new towns tried to get in on the act. “Living in Livingston” did not quite hit as well, but those ideas showed the beauty of development corporations shining a light on design more widely.
