Plans to update three historic adverts on the side of a city tenement have been backed by community chiefs.

The three billboards on Paisley Road West, in Cardonald, are believed to date back more than 60 years.

One of the painted adverts is by Coca-Cola and includes the slogan “thirst knows no season”, which was uncovered after a board covering it was blown off during a storm.

There had been calls to revamp the adverts in 2015 but those plans fell through after failing to attract support.

Now the South West Arts and Music Project (SWAMP) are hoping to revive the possibility of touching-up the old adverts or painting a new mural like those in the city centre.

Andy Peline, the organisation’s project manager, said: “We’ve been working with a girl called Rachel McLean who did the Billy Connolly mural.

“There are good artists who are involved and could look at some sort of project. If we can generate an income from this, it would help.

“We’d be happy to look at the project and to investigate to find out what is feasible and what’s not feasible.”

Alongside the old Coca-Cola advert was a beer company’s slogan “just what I want” and an old News of the World painting.

Labour councillor Jim Kavanagh has demanded that Glasgow City Council stump-up the money for the potential paintwork.

He pointed to murals in the city centre, the West End and the East End of the city as proof that cash is available.

And he said: “If it’s good enough for the West end, the East End and Partick it’s about time Cardonald got something worthwhile.

“I’m sick and tired of us being at the tail end when it comes to money being spent.

“All over the city it’s lovely but when you come to us it’s shabby and grey.”

Matt Kerr speculated that Coca-Cola, the unidentified beer company and the News of the World didn’t renew their adverts because they may not have been financially viable.

And he claimed that a new scheme should be opened to get Cardonald businesses up on the wall.

He added: “If there is anything that can bring money into the community to get something prettier and put a smile on people’s faces, I could live with that.”

Community councillor Nancy Loftus confirmed that when previous plans to re-instate the Coca-Cola advert were made, the residents were “peeved” because they felt they should get a cut of the advertisement money.

But she said she was confident that a mural would be more successful.

A report on the possibility of reinstating the old adverts, creating new adverts or painting a new mural is expected to go back to the Cardonald Area Partnership next year.
