A veteran Paisley Liberal Democrat councillor is set to retire after 34 years of service to the town.
Eileen McCartin was first elected onto Renfrew District Council back in 1988 as a representative for the Stanely ward - which included Meikleriggs, Corsebar and Stanely - and has continued to stand up for constituents across the wider Paisley Southwest area since 2007.
But she has announced she will be stepping down ahead of this year's local election in May insisting it is time for her to "make way for younger and fitter councillors".
