The Lanarkshire Board

Dissolution of the Lanarkshire Board

The Lanarkshire Board – the Regional Strategic Body (RSB) ceased to exist on the 30th July 2025 following the approval by the Scottish Parliament of the Regional Strategic Bodies and Regional Colleges (Glasgow and Lanarkshire) Order 2025 which came into force on 30th July 2025.

This order followed on from a review of the RSB’s by the SFC which was published on the 20th October 2020 and a subsequent consultation by the Scottish Government launched in June 2024 with responses required by the 20th September 2024. The decision was taken to dissolve the Lanarkshire Board (RSB) and the Glasgow Colleges’ Regional Board (GCRB). Following that decision, the Scottish Government laid the Regional Strategic Bodies and Regional Colleges (Glasgow and Lanarkshire) Order 2025 before parliament.

The order was approved and from the 30th July 2025, there are now two regional colleges in Lanarkshire: New College Lanarkshire (NCL) with its Board and South Lanarkshire College (SLC) with its Board. NCL is no longer a Regional Strategic Body and the Lanarkshire Board no longer exists but NCL remains as a regional college. SLC is no longer an assigned college but is now also a regional college.

Detailed minutes from each meeting have been published for the period January 2020 to 30 July 2025.
