Council bids to be part of scheme to create more affordable housing

Renfrewshire Council has put itself forward to be included in a national scheme to create more affordable housing in Renfrewshire.

The National Housing Trust Initiative (NHT) allows councils to join with developers to make new homes available for lower rent levels in areas where there is a shortfall of affordable housing.

Renfrewshire Council has told the Scottish Government that it would like to be considered for the next round which is due to start in September 2011.

Major improvements to the Lagoon Leisure Centre are being carried out as part of Renfrewshire Council’s multi million pound Building Better Communities Programme (click here for further details). Part of this investment involves the refurbishment of the Arena Hall (already under way) and the modernisation of the pool area.

The Lagoon Pool will be closing on Sunday 25th September 2011 for refurbishment and is scheduled to open again in Spring 2012. During this period customers will still be able to access the Gym, Sports Hall and Fitness Classes.

The Renfrewshire Doors Open day programme of events has been released (please see the bottom of this post for the area wide pdf). This is a great weekend for gaining access to some of our amazing visitor attractions. Take your camera and the family and you will be in for a treat.
