A chain of hospitality venues in Lanarkshire are urgings locals to get behind their pubs and restaurants after taking a huge financial hit in recent months due to Omicron.
The latest COVID variant led to strict rules being reintroduced in venues in December, meaning numerous cancellations of festive parties and nights out cost businesses thousands of pounds.
Lisini Pub Co - who own six different establishments in Lanarkshire including Dalziel Park in Motherwell, and Angels in Uddingston - have spoken out over the issue, saying the treatment of local pubs has been "unacceptable".
