Three workshops are to be held – in Kelvingrove Park, Queen’s Park and Cranhill Park – to decide the best way to put up lights.
Lighting is finally set to be installed in three Glasgow parks more than a year after the issue was first raised - with new concerns over how long the work will take.
Council officials have said the three workshops, set to take place between December 5 and 12, will lead to an action plan. It is expected to identify the “extent and location of any routes to be lit” as well as their power source. Officials have also held talks with researchers at Glasgow University on potential research to “conduct measurements of biodiversity and animal behaviour pre and post pilot work at those three parks”. A further report will be provided to councillors in April.
Kelvingrove Park has the higher proportion of users using the park at dusk and darkness . For Kelvingrove, 33% said they felt unsafe at dusk, with 68% feeling unsafe during darkness hours. One in five respondents said they do not visit the park during dawn or the hours of darkness . “We’re just coming to the first anniversary [of the motion] so that would be over three years before we have any likelihood of having any lighting in Kelvingrove Park.”
