Renfrewshire Council are inviting residents to community events showcasing plans for the £274 million Glasgow City Region City Deal.

The meetings will take place between 10am – 7pm in Renfrew, Paisley and Intu Braehead on 17, 18 and 19 May.

The multi-million scheme is an investment in three infrastructure projects throughout Renfrewshire.

The £78m Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project will build a new bridge across the Clyde linking Renfrew and Yoker, including new roads to improve traffic flow and increase accessibility.

In addition, the £51.39m Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) project will improve connections between the Westway, Inchinnan and Airport Business Parks, with plans for two new bridges across the White Cart and a new 'Gateway Route' between Paisley Town Centre and the Airport.

The third City Deal investment is in the £144m Airport Access Project (AAP), a new fixed link connection between Glasgow Central, Paisley Gilmour Street Station and the airport.

Council Leader Mark Macmillan said: "Renfrewshire's communities stand to gain a tremendous amount from our three City Deal projects. They will help our economy to grow and create employment, improve our access to further work and leisure opportunities, and make Renfrewshire home to three modern, innovative, landmark projects.

"It is important that communities are part of this progress. I'd urge anyone with an interest these new developments to come along to our events, see what's planned, and express their views on how the projects will work best for them."
