Langside Library closure for refurbishment

01/02/2025 - 5pm

LBCCC is pleased to report that the closure of Langside Library for planned refurbishment works has been put back - the Library will now remain open until 1 February 2025. For more information about the planned refurbishment, please see https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/venues/langside-library

Your Community Council made the case that it would be premature for Glasgow Life to close the Library ahead of planning permission being granted - this appears to have been accepted - see link below to the letter dated 28 November sent to elected members. According to GCC's Planning Portal, the target date for decision on the planning application related to the proposed works to the Library is 3 January 2025; however, given the Council will be in recess at that date, this timetable would appear to be indicative. LBCCC will continue to liaise with elected members and Glasgow Life as appropriate to seek to ensure that Langside Library does not close earlier than is necessary (to enable the process to decant the library prior to the refurbishment works commencing).

We welcome the promise by Glasgow Life "We will update customers and our online communications with this change, which will alleviate some concerns raised locally. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the refurbishment programme recognising the high level of interest in the local community"
