'The full community, as well as our team here were amazing.'
A Milngavie nursery has praised the local community who"pulled together" following Tuesday's major water outage.
The burst pipe, which occurred at the junction of Auchenhowie Road and Glasgow Road, caused major flooding and huge damage to the concrete leaving many Glasgow postcodes areas including Knightswood, Partick, and Ibrox without water.The nursery, which had to evacuate the premises, called for the emergency services after noticing that the road was"starting to come up."
"We had 56 children to evacuate, all under the age of five, and so, we had to think about how to move the kids physically and emotionally to ensure none of the kids were distressed. The transition from nursery to park was said to have gone smoothly and Donna praised those that stepped in to come to the nursery's aid."Murray Park was so kind and accommodated us very well, as were the emergency services, who were really great and helped direct us on what was best to do."It was all about watching the community come together and show kindness in a moment of real adversity.
