The staff at a newly-opened bar have addressed rumours that their venue was to be involved in a planned demolition of a site nearby.
Cheers Bar opened in Coatbridge on March 17 and it is located on Main Street near the Quadrant Shopping Centre, which is permanently closed and reportedly earmarked for demolition.
The team has since taken to social media to respond to hearsay that they will be impacted by the plans.
A spokesperson said: "As you may be aware, The Quadrant Shopping Centre is currently at the demolition stage.
"We want to make everyone aware that all business from The Bank Of Scotland to Eden Nightclub are not included in that demolition.
"The rear of the centre is being demolished and only the rear. We have our space for years to come. We have literally just opened… Who makes up these rumours?"
