Bishopton residents set to challenge council over sale of green space

Renfrewshire Council’s sale of a Bishopton green space could be referred to the national ombudsman as locals vow to hold leaders to account.

Ingliston Drive residents say the local authority’s sale of the land at the end of their street does not honour legislation which has been introduced since the field was deemed surplus to requirements in 2006.

They argue this, together with a failure to consult residents on the proposed sale to a developer, means they are referring the issue to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman.
