Demolition work underway at Renfrewshire Council HQ
Work on a multi-million pound project to replace the old Renfrewshire Council headquarters in Scotland with a modern housing development is finally getting under way. Demolition crews are moving in to tackle the giant building in Cotton Street, with construction on new houses and shop units due to begin in late Spring.
Phase One of the regeneration will see property developer Westpoint Homes, in partnership with affordable housing provider Link Group, transform the prime site, which overlooks historic Paisley Abbey, into 30 two-bedroom homes. Further building work in the £14million development of the key site will then follow, with a total of 137 residential apartments planned in total.
The transformation of the sprawling site, which has become a blot on the town centre landscape, is being hailed as a major step forward in the efforts to regenerate Paisley.
