A Labour councillor has announced he is to stand down ahead of this year's local election after a decade in office.
Derek Bibby was elected to represent Johnstone North, Kilbarchan, Lochwinnoch and Howwood back in 2012 and says it has been an "honour" to help residents and give them a voice in the chamber.
But the 71-year-old - who has devoted his life to public service - insists the time has come to step aside and encourage others to enter the world of local government.
