Council workers have been smashing the ice in Glasgow parks as a safety measure to prevent people from skating on frozen ponds.
workers have been smashing the ice in Glasgow parks as a safety measure to prevent people from skating on frozen ponds.The Southside park is regularly used by people when it freezes over with some walking on the ice and others using ice skates and playing ice hockey.
A Queen’s Park resident watched as a team broke up ice, and said she was disappointed at the council ‘trying to prevent people enjoying’ the frozen pond.Morna Gourlay contacted George Gillespie, who is the executive director in charge of parks. “Not only have they partially smashed the ice around approximately one-third of the pond edge, but in gathering darkness, this created fissures zig-zagging out into the middle of the pond, posing a threat to the unwary.”
A spokesperson for the council said: “We are very concerned about people going on to frozen water in parks across the city.
