Altpatrick Gardens - Improve Area

2025-11-20  •  No comments  •  rho2527  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

Altpatrick Gardens is made up of four blocks here. Block one has a lovely patio area for the residents to sit out and enjoy. However, this requires an upgrade as there are broken benches and dead plants. A new table and chairs, including addional benches would benefit the residents here. A shade area would be beneficial such as an awning. The plant pots are in good condition, however would benefit from new plants with low maintenance to brighten the place up. 

There is also an issue with identifying the blocks here. New signage for the area would help the residents, visitors and deliveries to these blocks. This could include identifying each individual block and providing signs which can direct to each block from the main parking area.

The Oaks

2025-12-04  •  No comments  •  rho2521  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

A wide tarred or resin path coming from the double silver gates and leading to the seating area at the communal garden at the Oaks Sheltered housing complex.  I think a large path going from the double gates to the seating area would ensure all residents can access the area without going over the grass or residents gardens it would also be wheelchair accessible. The reason i'd like tarred or resin is to stop the issue of moss and weeds growing through and making it unsightly or dangerous for the elderly residents to walk on. I would also like to propose the path already there which comes from the communal lounge to the seating areas be replaced with a wider tarred or resin path for the same issues as already mentioned and the slabs underneath the benches replaced with same material to try and stop the yearly struggle of the ground becoming slippery for the residents.  I have used the resources availabe to me to tidy up the paths surrounding the areas however the funding needed for this project would be more than we have available.

Bin Area Slabs for MacDowall Street

2025-11-12  •  No comments  •  renjv25861  •  Johnstone & Villages

We constantly have to pull our bins through the grass in the back garden each week. This churns up the grass and also drags mud through our close. Can we please have a slabbed path leading to a designated bin area on each side of the garden to store the wheelie bins.

Provost Close area

Provost close is a multi story building in the centre. The tenants have no gardens etc  Improving the front entrance area with some planters would be nice for the tenants in summer. Building has a lot of elderly tenants.

32 & 50 Macdowall Street Johnstone

2025-12-18  •  3 comments  •  rho2528  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

Closes are dirty looking with paint flaking off the walls. There are cobwebbs in around the ceilings of the closes. These buildings would massively benefit from a full clean and fresh paint throughout.

Campbell st Playpark Johnstone

2025-12-05  •  No comments  •  rho2523  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

Campbell st playpark in Johnstone centre is in need of freshening up. The metal fence which surrounds it needs repaired and painted. The playpark itself needs updating also. Repair damaged fencing, rub down, prime and repaint the boundary fencing to the play park.                   Remove bushes which are growing through fence on Campbell st side.

11, 15 and 21 William st Johnstone Bin sheds

2025-12-05  •  No comments  •  rho2523  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

11, 15 and 21 William st have free standing concrete bin sheds in all rear gardens. These are unsightly and attract a lot of flytipping/rubbish as tenants tend to leave bins out front. If concrete bin sheds could be removed and slabbed areas to contain bins this would be more presentable for the area.

5,11, 15 & 17 Macdowall Street, Johnstone - Clean and paint closes

2025-12-18  •  No comments  •  rho2528  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

Closes are dirty with paint flaking from the walls and cobwebs in the every corner. An overall clean and fresh paint of the closes here would make a massive improvement to these buildings.
