'We’ve been given assurances and they’ve not been kept. Five years of damage is unacceptable to the local community.'
Damage to Glasgow parks following major gigs and festivals is taking years to be fixed, community representatives have said, as the council “promises the Earth and delivers nothing”.
Sheila Yuill, from Craigton Community Council, said there is “outstanding damage” to Bellahouston Park from gigs in 2018, 2019 and 2022. While Tricia Fort, of Calton Community Council, said one of its members had “noticed that holes drilled in aid of TRNSMT festival had not been filled”. Cllr Alex Wilson, SNP, who chairs the licensing committee, said DF Concerts is “not at fault” and “pay handsomely” for any damage. He added feedback from the community councils would be passed on to NRS.
