A project that will restore almost three hectares of derelict land in Paisley’s Ferguslie Park will help tackle anti-social behaviour in the area, it is hoped. Renfrewshire Council has been awarded £650,000 of Scottish Government cash to deliver the regeneration of the Belltrees site into a multi-functional green space. Two new shared pedestrian and cycle routes have been planned, as well as a natural play trail, event space and landscape features, enhanced biodiversity and drainage improvements.
