Ideas Letterbox

We want South Lanarkshire to be a great place to live, work, study and visit — and your ideas can help us get there. As a listening council, we consult residents regularly, but we also want to hear any suggestions you have to improve our services or our communities.

That’s why we created the Ideas Letterbox. It’s a simple way to send us your ideas at any time. Every submission is read and passed to the team best placed to consider it. If an idea can be taken forward, we’ll let you know — but only if you want a response.

How it works

When you share an idea, we’ll ask for:

• your idea
• your name and contact details
• whether you want feedback
• whether your idea is for a specific council service - you can leave this blank if you’re unsure. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure your suggestion reaches the right person.

Submit your idea

View ideas and responses

You can look through all ideas submitted so far in our online directory. Personal details are removed to protect anonymity.

Each listing includes:

• the idea submitted
• our response
• any actions taken
• notes where an idea is more suited to a comment or complaint (these are still passed to services for follow‑up)
