Airdrie pub could be converted into c-store

A former pub in Airdrie could soon be converted into a convenience store if councillors approve the building’s change of use.

Applicant Anjum Faqir is seeking permission from North Lanarkshire Council to convert Drumgelloch Bar, in Forrest Street, into a convenience store.

The proposals include making a number of alterations to the building, allowing for the creation of aisles, and the installation of an ATM.

A decision is expected by 21 April.

The plans can be viewed on the council’s website.
