NEW SIGNAGE

This summer we installed various 'Welcome to Shawlands' signs throughout the area as a friendly welcome to visitors. We also installed a further 20 anti litter signs following positive feedback from the residents & businesses from the original batch, let's hope they encourage more litter in the bins instead of on the pavements!

HANGING BASKETS

Back for a second year our hanging baskets have flourished, brightening up the streets of Shawlands. We use water saving baskets that are planted, watered and maintained for us.

SKIRVING STREET FAIR

As part of the 'playing out' initiative My Shawlands and the businesses of Skirving Street hosted a day of 'good ol' fashioned family fun' Skirving Street was closed to traffic for a safe environment to let the kids reclaim the street for outdoor play.
