Anyone in Cumbernauld? advice reqd...

[Jumpy Guy]

Having recently returned to Scotland, I have moved into a flat while we source a proper house.
This will be for a couple of years, which presents me with a problem.

I have to store a half built scratch build car.
A lockup has become available, but it's the in-a-block type, which I'm pretty wary of. It's in Kilfauns, and I have visisted it and its graffiti free and seems a quiet area.
If anyone has any local knowledge it would be appreciated...

Dont know area but local police office might be worth asking if there are any issues or worries about garaging in area

[Jumpy Guy]

local police-
"I Cant give you that information; we cant be seen to 'talk down' any specific area"

Your best taking a trip round at night, you soon see whats happening then.
Get yourself round to a local shop they usually know whats going on.

Bit worrying, they didn't "talk it up". Maybe says it all.

Where is Kilfauns?

I stay in Cumbernauld but Ive never heard of it. What street is it and I will see what I can find out for you.

I too am very familiar with Scumbernauld and have never heard of that area.

Sounds like a combination of Kildrum and Greenfaulds.

Never heard of that area, and I stay a couple of miles outside Cumbernauld and have done all my life ?

as above, i stay in cumbernauld but dont know where that is...
I used to deliver chinese as well to get me through my apprenticeship so I have a fair knowledge of this wonderful town!

[Jumpy Guy]

They look clean, no graffiti etc

No-one around the evening that I was there, but any local knowledge would be appreciated.

Circular garages at Castle way ought to be ok for keeping car in.

Castle Way is off Meadow View which is a quiet residential - all property in Meadow View is privately owned as is Castle Way.

Grew up in Meadow View, in LOndon for 20 years, folks still there, visit occasionally.

I'd second that - assuming the OP wants some form of security.

That's an unusual shape for a garage but I suppose it makes it easier to open the doors !
