A bid has been launched for almost £3.5 million in funding which would put Johnstone and nearby villages at the centre of an ambitious regeneration project.
The masterplan could see the town linked with Kilbarchan, Bridge of Weir and Houston through a circular route – using existing footways and cycle paths and the restoration of historic buildings such as the Steeple Hall.
Renfrewshire Council has applied to the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) for money to develop the project with a complimentary bid to be submitted to Historic Environment Scotland (HES) within a matter of weeks.
