Sep 07 - West View Park To Open To Public For National Day Firework Display

The Ministry of Health, in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture, will open West View Park to the public between 19.00 and 00.00 on National Day for a clear view of the National Day Fireworks Display.

St Bernard’s Hospital will restrict access to its garden and podium areas during these hours for safety and security reasons.

The Gibraltar Health Authority has raised concerns over the security of the hospital when large crowds gather on hospital premises to view the Fireworks Display. This area is also used by the Ambulance Service for access to and from the A&E Department and must remain clear at all times.

The public are advised to use West View Park to view the Firework Display. Public access to hospital grounds to view the Display is prohibited and extra security measures shall be put in place at St Bernard’s Hospital for this purpose only.
