Together we can restore this famous old building

Wishaw tradesmen and builders have answered the call to help restore one of the town's famous old buildings to its former glory.
Earlier this month, members of Wishaw YMCA hosted a builder and trades planning session in a bid to restore the old YM building in the town's Main Street.
The YM was forced to close its doors in November 2018 after an unexpected visit from Scottish Fire and Rescue who deemed the building unsuitable.
And it appears there could be some light at the end of the tunnel with a plan going forward to re-open the 100 year old building.
