Cumbernauld, Town for Tomorrow - High Quality - 1970
Made for the Cumbernauld Development Corporation and Films of Scotland, this look at the town centre and surrounding area in 1970 highlights what a prosperous and exciting place Cumbernauld was. Sadly, a lack of maintenance and increasing lack of thought-out decision making leaves modern Cumbernauld a shadow of what it once was, and the award winning town centre is now hated by many.
