A SUMMER music festival has this year been banned from using a Glasgow park.

For the past two years Indian Summer has been staged in Victoria Park in the West End.

But furious locals said thousands of young revellers left the area looking like a quagmire.

And because the park was so churned-up it could not be used for months by youngsters of Broomhill Sports Club.

Partick West councillor Aileen Colleran said the final straw came when yobs threw a generator used in the festival into the park's pond and five swans, ducks and seagulls were affected.

Festival organisers have been told they cannot return to the Park and they are now looking for a new location.

Last year, more than 5000 Indie fans flocked to the park to enjoy acts including cult US band The Flaming Lips.

Ms Colleran said: "I supported the idea of trying out a new event in Victoria Park.

"The Glasgow Show used to be held there but it outgrew the area and I think the same thing has happened with this particular event.

"I know a lot of people enjoyed it but last year there was damage."

Ms Colleran added: "The grass area has not really recovered and it would be set back even further if the festival was to be held there for a third year."

Council chiefs are now in discussion with festival bosses to try to find a new location for the event.

Ms Colleran added: "I hope Indian Summer goes ahead somewhere this year as it is a quirky mix of bands and artists."

Broomhill Sports Club secretary Stephen Prince said: "We are delighted there will not be an event at the park this year it is a sensible decision."
