Packing up and picking up at T in the Park after final Balado bash

As the campsite at T in the Park cleared and the last weary revellers headed for home, a massive site clear-up swung into action for the final time.

For the people and businesses of Kinross-shire the last T in the Park at Balado ahead of a move to Strathallan Castle next year was tinged with sadness.

“I think the majority of people in Kinross-shire are sad to see T in the Park go,” said local councillor Willie Robertson.

“It is the biggest event that Perth and Kinross has ever hosted and I am glad it is staying in the area.

“There are always complaints about noise and disturbance but, by and large, it benefits local people and they have lived with it. It was an amazing event for Kinross-shire and lots of local farmers and businesses got work from it.

“Local charities also used it as a way of making money and were able to apply for funding from money generated by the event.

“It was a bit like your next door neighbour who has a rowdy party once a year but they invited 85,000 people!”

Over the next two weeks the site will be dismantled but squads yesterday made an immediate start to clearing the inevitable debris left after such a large gathering.

“Litter control is a major part of our planning activity for the festival and it begins as soon as the event finishes both inside and outside the site,” said a T in the Park spokesperson.

“We spend a lot of time, effort and finance on litter control and we ask festival goers to play their part in keeping the site and the local environment as tidy as possible.

“This is definitely a message that the audience are heeding as we’ve found more people than ever are taking home their tents and belongings this year and the main arena is already in excellent shape.”

The organisers and police thanked fans for their good behaviour. bPolice Scotland made 52 arrests during the festival, a significant drop from last year’s figure of 91.

Chief Superintendent Jim Leslie said: “Generally the behaviour of fans this year has been excellent. Praise must go to them for playing their part in keeping crime figures down; for the majority, people were in tremendous spirits and focused on being here for the right reasons to enjoy music and have a great time with friends.”

The onsite medical team reported 980 visits to the hospital tent in comparison with 1160 in 2013 and said that these were mainly for minor, weather-related ailments and sprains and strains.
