M&D’S to reopen

M&D’S have announced their plans to re-open after being bought out of administration.

Scotland’s theme park, based within Strathclyde Country Park in Motherwell, also has a new management team in place just eight weeks after calling in the administrators.

Back on April 23, 165 employees were made redundant and left without their wages when the theme park went into administration.

But bosses posted on their Facebook page to their 81,000-plus followers that they are getting ready to reopen “when restrictions have been lifted”

The announcement read: “To all of our loyal and valued customers. We are delighted to announce that Scotland’s Theme Park has been bought out of administration and has new management in place.

“In line with Scottish Government guidelines, we are working hard behind the scenes to be able to reopen Scotland’s Theme Park as well as Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, and Amazonia when restrictions have been lifted.

“We are working within the physical distancing guidelines, as well as introducing additional hand sanitising stations located throughout the park and Amazonia and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

“There will be some modifications when you come back to visit us and we’d ask that you bear with us during this period of change and adjustment to allow us to give you the fantastic day out you would usually experience at Scotland’s Theme Park.”
