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.

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. 

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. 

5, 11, 15 & 17 Macdowall Street, Johnstone. 

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.

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.

32 & 50 Macdowall Street, Johnstone. 

It is hoped that we could have a notice board that would be used to display artwork from the local primary school children. These would be changed each year so the notice board would be locked and opened each year to change the displays. This could be made from recycled plastic or marine ply.

DISPLAY AREA of notice board would be Width 90cm x Height 70cm.  Once installed the notice board would not exceed 180cm in height.

The Display Case would be Dark Green in colour to reflect it's surroundings, as on a grass area with trees directly opposite.

The image shown is to show a possible design for the display case, but not preferred colour.

A full close clean head to toe and re-paint the full closes from 21 and 31 Pine Crescent, this also includes re-painting the front and back communal door and frames.

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.
