Lanarkshire’s newest school has been officially named after councillors unanimously approved the choice of pupils, families and staff.
Riverbank Primary is being created through the merger of Carnbroe and Sikeside primaries and will open at its site beside the North Calder Water in Coatbridge in 2023.
The name choice was confirmed at Thursday’s meeting of North Lanarkshire Council, with members hearing that it had earned 51 per cent of the votes in a poll among the school community.
