That map showing the Location of Cumbernauld is wrong as it is further south than it should be.Banoffee Pies19:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Any chance of some photos - would be good to see what it looks like... Justinc 12:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC) trust me you don't... Jamie-planetx 18:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

It really isn't that bad, it's hardly a horror story. Fraslet 18:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

it's a coincidence you should say that im researching cumbernaulds history for ghost storys hexes and such superstition for a concert production, mainly from the romain times and possible curses on cumbernauld any help about such things would be apreciated send me an email Jamie@planetxfilms.co.uk if you have any material. it's true i admire the architachture of cumbernauld i thing the town centre idea was and still is way ahead of it's time, i even admire the residantial areas of pathways not interveining with roads, i think they went wrong with building what is called PHASE 4 (where tesco used to be),Jamie-planetx 23:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

This article has gradually decended into POV and conjecture in favour of the town's planning. There are aspects of the town I like, but this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a forum to drum up civic pride for one's town. There are serious criticisms of the town's planning and its fabric: that should be reflected. Could definitely do with a clean-up. FrFintonStack 21:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

You know I lived in Cumbernauld, I grew up there and I'll always have some nostalgia for the place, it really isnt as bad as people make out that it is. Im kinda dissappointed in the photographs, Cumbernauld is a very very beautiful place in a sunny day, if im ever there again when its sunny i'll take some photography of the town centre, the existing photographs are really bad (no offence intended to the photographer), if you live there and you can take some better pictures you really ought to, people judge towns based on what they read here and the photographs really let the place down!! olorin001 16:34, 28 Dec 2007 (UTC)

Football Teams
Saying that two of the football teams are clyde and cumbernauld united does a little diservice to Clyde. They play in the 1st Division are (almost) entirley professional and have a stadium which has been used for international matches. Cumbernauld utd are a junior team and play in a field.

No mention of our golf clubs, surrounding countryside
On the page on Cumbernauld, there is no mention of the various attarctions, the golf clubs, the surrounding countryside is excellent, there is a real sense of gloom and doom with too much talk on the Town Centre, it is crumbling and NEW one's are popping up nearby which are much better.

I do not accept that any area of Cumbernauld is in terminal decline as the article seems to suggest.I libed in Crabrain for years and do not accept that the place is in terminal decline.

Like any town, there are problems, but the minute the word Scottish New Town arises people cannot wait to rant about the negatives.( although I am almost certain that the authors have not lived in the town very long, if at all)

Please cheer up and hopefully we can all dream of Gregory's Girl 2!

Image copyright problem with Image:Northlanarkshirelogo.png
The image Image:Northlanarkshirelogo.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.

Edit request from Parahandy, 16 Oct 2010
Please can you have a look at the section regarding industrial expansion. Isola-Werke no longer have a site in the town (the building is up for sale), and the rest of that paragraph could do with a tidy.

Edit request from JustSarah, 29 May 2010
Please add to sport, that there is a new sport's centre in Broadwood, called Broadwood NL, which is smaller than the Tryst Sport's Centre, and doesn't have a pool but has many other feature's including a state of the art fitness gym, aerobic's studio's, a children's soft play area and much more.

Auchinstarry Quarry
Auchinstarry Quarry is nowhere near Cumbernauld, in fact there is an entire village between it and Cumbernauld. If someone would remove this I would be grateful.188.222.37.44 (talk) 22:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
