Motherwell and Wishaw have stories worth knowing. From Fir Park's century of football heritage to the Dalzell Estate's woodland walks, from Wishaw's overlooked 12th-century roots to the steel industry that shaped this entire region, there's substance here.

But between WhatsApp groups, Facebook posts, and endless scrolling, the genuinely good stuff gets lost in the noise. Local events, hidden corners, community moments that actually matter.

The City Brief cuts through that. Every week, we deliver the signal: what's happening, what's worth your time, what makes this place distinctive. No fluff. Just Motherwell and Wishaw, curated for people who actually live here.
