We're set to receive around £2.3m over the lifespan of the PBIP and this third round allocation is £385,000.

Housing and Environment Convener, Councillor Danny Devlin, said: "This is a fantastic regeneration opportunity for our towns and villages. We are committed to improving and upgrading areas across East Renfrewshire and this funding allows the community to get involved and get projects moving. We've already seen some great activity through this programme, so if you have an idea for one of our neighbourhoods, I'd encourage you to take a look at the information on our website and get in touch with the team."

The deadline for applications is Friday 7 April, however, it is recommended that potential applicants submit expressions of interest to our Economic Development team at [email protected] prior to making a full application.
