Paisley Daily Express has been in touch and hopefully writing up about our textile bins. I have provided photos and details.
Graham Ternent from Environmental Services had telephone during the week and advised that the Cowal Drive soil results have came back clear and safe for PlayPark. Agreement still in the air at the moment and he was unable to confirm if the £10,000.00 pledged to us will be allowed to roll over. If money is not able to be rolled over could this be spent elsewhere? For example resurface of Kashmir Cage (quote had previously come in at around this figure) or the Springer’s at Erskinefauld Road? Committee agreed that if agreement issue is not resolved by end of April, then we should start a petition.
