In Shettleston lights are usually featured at Parkhead Cross and Shettleston Road and are expected to be lit there later in the year while local councillors have been working to secure more lights for future years.
Shettleston is unlikely to see more festive lights around the ward this Christmas despite work to try and improve the lighting programme for the area.
But the new Festive Lighting delivery programme is subject to a procurement exercise between 2025 to 2028 which means that the council was unable to produce the new pricing schedule in time for the Area Partnership meetings of August/September and is not expected to be available until October 21.
“We really need to push to have something in place earlier. In our ward we only have lights on Parkhead Cross and Shettleston Road - it doesn’t seem like it’s right across the ward.Councillor Thomas Kerr agreed that more lights were needed and he hoped they would be available by next Christmas. He also proposed a walk around the ward to spot potential sites for Christmas lights.
