A retired businessman is eager to be involved in Paisley's regeneration as he prepares to stand in this week's Renfrewshire Council election.
Jim McIlroy, a Conservative candidate in the Southeast ward, wants to see the town accelerate its recovery from the pandemic and hopes his experience can play a part.
He has urged the next administration to be "bold and ambitious" in its plans for the town centre and has pledged to "deliver solutions" for the community.
