Flooding forces Helix and Kelpies to close to vehicles
Motorists have been asked to stay away from The Helix Park and Kelpies due to wide-scale flooding.
Large parts of the tourist attraction are under water and a decision has been taken to close the access for public vehicles and the car parks.
Today’s Kelpies Tours have also been cancelled.
People who are still hoping to visit the parkland are urged to use the car park at Falkirk Stadium.
At present there is no confirmation what has caused today’s flooding issue.
A joint statement from Falkirk Council and Scottish Canals said: "The Helix remains closed to all vehicles due to ongoing flooding, and our visitor centre will close at 5pm today.
"We are continuing to work closely with Scottish Water to identify and resolve the cause of the flooding.
"The safety of our visitors and staff remains our top priority. Depending on conditions, the visitor centre may also remain closed tomorrow.
"We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Please continue to check the Helix Park Falkirk for the latest updates."
