Shankly Memorial Damaged

I heard that the Shankly Memorial at Glenbuck has been damaged by a car crashing into it?

Does anyone have any more details on this?

As some people may have been aware the Shankly memorial in Glenbuck was recently damaged by joy-riders crashing a car into the memorial. The damage caused was very severe and the monument was in great danger of being ruined.

Union member Stephen Wright was informed about the incident and contacted authorities in the Glenbuck area, he also informed a Committee member, Ste Monoghan. Ste was then put into contact with Philip Rayson at Scottish Coal, who was told about how close to our hearts this matter was.

The Union and all its members would like to thanks Scottish Coal and in particular Philip Rayson for the speed and efficiency in which they dealt with the matter.

The memorial is now repaired and looking better than ever with a couple of boulders being placed near by to stop such an occurrence happening in future. Please see below for pictures of the damaged monument and the new, repaired memorial.











All sorted now MsG.

 : You and your snow  I think you should go somewhere very cold for your holidays Kenny, seeing as you love snow so much 

Seriously, it was good that they reacted so quickly otherwise it just could have been left to be vandalised even more.

Good to see it's all been fixed up. Well done to everyone who got it sorted.

Well done to everyone involved in sorting this out.

Fantastic that it's been fixed so quickly...well done to all involved.

Well done to everybody involved.
I didn't realise Glenbuck was so close to the M74, as I pass junction 12 twice aweek.
So next week I've desided to make a pilgrimage and place some flowers and a card, I'll take a photo and post it.

Well in Neil, nice touch that mate, let us see the photo when you've got it sorted.

Like the great man Himself, cant be kept down. Fantastic to see it up again.

Glad to hear also that the Memorial has been repaired. Well done to all involved.
