FALKIRK'S iconic Kelpies are to get a festive skating rink for the first time as it looks to boost its income after it emerged its Helix Park home
Reaction on social media has been very positive with hundreds of people eager to try the new experience of skating on synthetic ice that promises to be softer than the real thing for children and beginners.The organisers also promise that the synthetic ice is an eco-friendly choice that will be gentler on the environment than traditional ice rinks.
The hope is to reduce the current subsidy by £180,000 by boosting the park’s income – currently £1.5m million – rather than making cuts. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
