10th Anniversary of Stockline Plastics Factory Explosion

We remember those killed in a gas explosion at the factory 10 years ago and also, acknowledge the pain and grief suffered by the families and the wider community.

People have come together and supported each other in coping with this tragedy over the last 10 years. We can be inspired by the local community of Woodside rallying round, and providing support to the bereaved families and those who worked on the site of the explosion.

A special recognition is provided for the work of the emergency services, include the fire and rescue services who worked constantly over four days in difficult conditions to rescue the injured and recover the dead. 

Maryhill Community Central Halls has made a significant contribution to promoting community spirit in the aftermath. It was just round the corner from the factory, became a hub for traumatised families and emergency services in the hours and days after the tragedy.

Special thanks goes to everyone involved in both, the memorial service which has been established and the provision of memorial garden in memory of the people affected.
