North Lanarkshire Council planners are set to recommend that councillors reject the proposals for a rail freight terminal at Ravenscraig.
The Russell Group project is set to be voted on by councillors next month and local councillor Kenneth Duffy has been liaising with council officials to find out more information for residents.
Officers have now confirmed to Councillor Duffy that the proposals could be voted on as early as February with council planners recommending that the project not be granted planning permission.
