"St Mirren Football Club – Exhibition to celebrate 150th Anniversary
Council calls upon OneRen, with the support of the Council, to produce an exhibition to celebrate the 150th anniversary of St Mirren Football Club in 2027."
"That Renfrewshire Council recognises and celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the birth of Paisley’s Weaver Poet, Robert Tannahill, on 3rd June 1774, recognising his contribution to Scottish culture in poetry and song, and his enduring legacy in Renfrewshire, Scotland and the world.
Renfrewshire Council notes that Council, OneRen, and several local organisations and individuals including our Tannahill Makar Shaun Moore, The Tannahill MacDonald Club, Professor Fred Freeman, Jackie Cruickshanks, and local artists are working collaboratively to deliver celebratory events over this anniversary year as part of their ongoing work to promote Tannahill’s legacy, with two events having been held at Paisley Central Library on 3rd and 4th of June to mark the anniversary, and further events planned in future."
"Code of Conduct and Complaints Procedure for Community Councils
Renfrewshire Council commends the positive work carried out by Community Councils in articulating the views of their respective communities which they serve. Council, in particular, values their contribution regarding planning matters.
Council notes that Community Councils, and how they operate, will be subject to a review later in the year, and calls for such a review to introduce a Code of Conduct and Complaints Procedure for members of Community Councils."
"Action on Empty and Abandoned Homes in Renfrewshire
Council notes that Shelter Scotland have recently highlighted that there are 28,280 empty houses which have been abandoned for more than a year. Council believes this reduces the number of private rented lets, damages the fabric of neighbouring properties, and is a blight on communities.
Council commends the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership for their work in acting to bring empty and abandoned homes back into use, recognises that the Scottish Government has a strong record in building social housing, and agrees to write to the Scottish Minister for Housing to seek new legislation to reduce the scandal of empty and abandoned homes."
