WARNING: FAKE LANARK EVENT TICKETS

There are plenty of fake ticket sellers trying to pretend they have tickets to one of the local events and suddenly can’t attend and have 4 tickets to sell lol! Don’t be fooled. Ask the event venue first if they have extra tickets or tickets that are available last minute, don’t buy from anywhere else!

We’ve declined in last 24hrs at least 20 fake profiles trying to sell event tickets to events they know nothing about - Don’t get done, get smart! As Scotland’s Scammers Admin Team would say, take their advice!

Refurbished Bus Terminal Open

If you’ve not already noticed the refurbishment of the Lanark Interchange has now finished and has re-opened for business.

Hopefully the bus shelter will be left or made permanent just down from the former Vogue Cinema/Bingo.

What are your thoughts on the refurb?
