As lockdown begins, our community is coming together

Dear Reader,

We are living in unprecedented, tumultuous times, where uncertainty abounds.

In the midst of the turmoil we are all searching for comfort and solace. Such reassurance can often be found in the familiar.

I believe that the Advertiser, with its 165-year history as the trusted source of all news in our community, offers such familiarity. For generations we have been moved and amazed by the achievements and resilience of our incredible residents. No other news source can provide such a unique insight into local life.

That is why I want to assure you that we will endeavour, now more than ever, to keep you abreast and informed of everything that is happening across our area in the coming weeks and months.

And by that I do not mean just the sadness and loss which, tragically at this point, seems inevitable.

But also the uplifting stories of our local heroes. The inspirational individuals, whose selfless acts during these trying times will embody what it means to come from Monklands. constant

To help us in your continue life, we to be need that your support. Your loyalty to the Advertiser is greatly appreciated by us all and will never be taken for granted.
