MESSAGE ON NORTH LANARKSHIRE WEBSITE

The Met Office and Scottish Government have issued a red weather warning for much of Scotland for Thursday December 8.

Winds will increase during the morning with severe gales developing and storm force winds forecast to arrive in North Lanarkshire in the afternoon.

We are currently assessing the forecast and its likely impact, particularly for schools. Our schools will open as normal tomorrow morning. We will assess the weather warnings first thing in the morning for updates. Should the red warning remain in place it is extremely likely that we will close our schools early at around lunchtime.
