Rutherglen trampoline centre to reopen after flash flooding forced it to close

A Rutherglen trampoline centre is expected to re-open this afternoon after severe flooding forced it to close.

Flip Out, on Dalmarnock Road, suffered from yesterday's torrential downpour, with the building's roof seeing water cascade inside, forcing youngsters playing there to be evacuated.

On their Facebook page the centre, popular with local kids, posted: "It appears the gutter unfortunately couldn't handle the volume of water today, but we're getting it resolved.

"Sorry to everyone affected- we will be in touch with you all as quickly as possible.

"We are working away so that we can reopen asap. thanks for your patience and understanding everyone."

In a later post they added: "We will reopen tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday).

"We will contact everyone who has a booking and arrange to reschedule your bookings. Thank you for your kind words and support."

One woman, who was there with her children, said: "We hadn't been there long when the water started flooding down like crazy.

"It was going all over the TV's and computers in the reception, which was quite scary, and there was sirens ringing and the lights going off.

"The staff were great though."

The torrential downpours across Glasgow caused chaos in the city on Monday, with numerous trains cancelled as a result, and several roads closed due to flooding.

Further wet weather is expected later this week.
