A TWO-DAY summer festival will not be disrupted by gaping holes which have opened up in a city park, according to council inspectors.

However locals are still concerned about the safety of the site in Bellahouston Park and the impact on locals using it.

As reported by the Evening Times, several craters appeared last month in the park near Mosspark Boulevard and were swiftly sealed off by council officials.

Glasgow Times:

Inspectors have been unable to determine the reason for the collapse and are now due to carry out more in-depth excavations.

The local authority said the pits will have no impact on the upcoming Summer Sessions concerts, which are due to attract around 30,000 music fans to the park in August.

Following the discovery of the collapsed mineshafts, residents are still concerned for the safety of dog walkers, children and anyone walking near the openings as well as concert goers who may stray into the affected area of the park.

Thousands of festival goers previously caused misery for local people after urinating in their gardens, causing violence and disorder in the streets an leaving litter strewn around the park and gardens nearby.

Elaine McSporran, secretary of the Mosspark and Corkerhill community council, said: "I have concerns. People do wander.

" Although that might not be the area of the concerts, people have wandered there before. People have been all over the park before in previous years.

"I have been asking them for another update on what is happening, but they haven't told me anything more about the investigations yet.

"There are also kids who play near there. I saw a few kids there the other day actually wondering what the holes were, and people walk their dogs there too. It is still dangerous, regardless of the Summer Sessions."

Glasgow Times:

Craigton SNP Councillor Alex Wilson, who previously called for the concerts to be called off until a full investigation was carried out, agreed.

He said: "There will still be a lot of people who will wander about that area.

"Unless they totally cordon that off there will be people who will be within that zone at the concert, so it is still a major concern for me.

"I don't think they should still be going ahead with the event when they haven't done a proper evaluation of the subsidence.

"It's still very much a concern,whether they say it is within the footfall zone or not.

"There will still be people playing there over the summer, there will still be other events and people use that part of the park on a regular basis."

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “Initial investigations recommended that further excavation work should be carried out and we are in the process of that.

"It won’t impact on the Summer Sessions as the fenced off plot is not part of the event area."
