Sep 08 - National Day Fireworks Display Can Be Viewed From West View Park

Written by YGTV Team on 08 September 2015.

The Government will open West View Park for National Day Fireworks Display after the Gibraltar Health Authority raised concerns about 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 Ministry for Health would like to inform the general public that St. Bernard’s Hospital shall be restricting access to the garden and podium areas during the evening of National Day from the hours of 19:00 to 00:00.

Therefore, this year, the Ministry of Health in conjunction with the Ministry for Culture shall be opening the West View Park for use by the general public to view the National Day Fireworks Display. The park shall be open from 19:00 to 00:00.

The Government would like to encourage the general public to use West View Park and not St. Bernard’s Hospital for the viewing of the fireworks display.

Extra security measures shall be put in place at St. Bernard’s Hospital for this purpose only.
