Businesses in Lerwick town centre decorated their windows with a festive theme to encourage the public to vote for them before 11th December in the Living Lerwick Best town centre Christmas Window Display competition.
The public vote has now closed and Westside Pine’s windows were the definite favourite with 79 votes or 27% of the 296 votes cast. Ninian came in second with 46 votes and Shetland Community Bike Project were third with 44 votes.
Janet Davidge of Westside Pine said: “Fantastic! We’re absolutely delighted. The windows were a joint effort amongst the staff. We’d like to say a big thank you to everybody that took the time to vote for our windows”
Steve Mathieson, Acting Chair of Living Lerwick said: “It’s great to see that the public are really taking part in the Best town centre Christmas window display competition. This is only the third year we’ve done it. The number of votes received has more than doubled and the amount of effort that has clearly gone into some of the window displays this year is amazing. The standard is very high.”
