A reminder that there will be no Fireworks display in Strathclyde Park this November or next.
Major construction work to transform the watersports centre and its immediate surroundings means that the public fireworks display hosted jointly by North and South Lanarkshire Councils in Strathclyde Country Park will not be held this year 2025 or next year 2026.
The project to transform the existing building into a modern health hub is considerable with a new name and design now chosen. Although alternative locations within the park have been explored, using them would seriously impact on the operational capacity of the event site and could create safety issues for visitors, staff and contractors.
Other options were considered by North Lanarkshire Council but no suitable alternative location could be identified that could safely accommodate the expected large number of people and vehicles that attend.
Following consultation with Police Scotland and a discussion on the identified hazards at the current waterside location, it was decided to postpone the event.
Understandably some people will be disappointed but the health and safety of visitors, staff and contractors are a priority.
