The Fire Brigade visited the school today to carry out a presentation with Pr.6 and 7 pupils in regard of the danger of fireworks. Please note North Lanarkshire Council will host a number of free displays next week. On Monday the annual display will take place in Drumpellier Country Park (previously this was held at Dunbeth Park). The event starts from 6.30pm with bonfire being lit at 7.15pm and firework display at 8.00pm.
Please note that for Drumpellier Country Park, parking is available at St Ambrose High School and Lochview Golf Centre. There is limited parking within Drumpellier Country Park, including disabled parking, and the car park there will close at 6:30pm. NLC would encourage people to bring a torch and wear reflective clothing as some areas are not lit. Parking restrictions will be in place on Townhead Road and Gartcosh Road.
Please note sparklers are not allowed within the venues. NLC have indicated that glow in the dark wristbands will be available for children to wear to help children in reuniting with parents is they become separated. Wristbands will be available at the event and are also available at M & D’s.
