The launch of a new licensing scheme for short-term lets has been welcomed by a Paisley councillor who has received numerous complaints about noisy guests and residents feeling unsafe in their homes.
Following the introduction of the new legislation, Renfrewshire Council will have to devise a licensing system by October with all operators required to apply for a licence by April 2023.
Paisley Northwest councillor Kenny MacLaren said he had received several complaints about people staying in the likes of Air BnBs from the Castlegait estate but the council has so far had no policy to deal with many of the issues.
