Motherwell North

Motherwell North covers a largely residential portion of the town, characterised by a mix of post-war housing schemes and more modern developments. The area includes neighbourhoods such as Forgewood and Muirhouse, providing homes for a significant portion of the local population. Its layout is defined by major routes like the A723, which connects it to the wider town centre and transport links.

The ward contains several community facilities, including schools and local shopping parades catering to daily needs. A notable local landmark is the M8 motorway, which runs along the ward's southern boundary, physically separating it from other districts. The landscape includes areas of open ground and the course of the South Calder Water, which flows through the northern part of the ward.
