Allotments

2025-11-25  •  No comments  •  Tricia 32  •  Paisley South

raised wooden boxes, that way disabled people can get involved as well, people can plant what they want and the growers can share with each other or donate excess vegetables to a local food bank, initially the council could supply a range of vegetable plants or given a voucher to go and buy what they like to eat, money is tight these days and alot of families cant afford to buy healthy food so this idea is a win, win situation it doesn't just benefit one person but an entire neighbourhood 

all you would need is for a locally owned business to build the wooden boxes and then fill with potting mix, I would probably build a fence around it, in the hope of stopping anti social behaviour from bored local kids, getting them and entire families involved might curb anti social behaviour plus kids might be more open to eating the vegetables that they have been involved in growing 

an allotment would benefit everybody, where a new play park only benefits those with children, 

The allotmeals would benefit the elderly and disabled, it will get them out of their homes, reducing loneliness and prevent isolation, make friends and have someone to talk to.

maybe a wee hut where the garden tools can be stored, and a tap, just incase we have another warm dry summer, nobody is going to want to carry heavy buckets from their homes

I guess im describing something similar to the allotmeals opposite the royal mail sorting office next to the rubbish tip. Or the allotments next to pollok park 

you could paint the wooden boxes in bright colours to attracts the young kids these kids could even build a wee fairy garden in the allotment grounds, which will make them feel part of something  kids 

There is a good sized area that is currently not being used, or will ever be used, its the plot of land in between 122 brediland Road and Ettrick oval, but there's plenty of other spots that can be used

 

Maybe a bench seat or 2 might be useful so the elderly and disabled can sit down when needed, it will also help people connect by sitting having a chat. You could also supply a few bags of seeds, not just veg seeds, but wild flowers as well

Bin Area for 18 Achray Drive, Foxbar

2025-11-28  •  No comments  •  rho252  •  Housing Officer  •  Paisley South

18 Achray Drive currently have wheelie bins (6x grey, 6x blue, 6x green) which are kept at the side of the building. 16 Achray Drive have an allocated bin area with bulk waste bins. This is a much better practice and the bins are better kept at 16. If we could recreate this for 18 it would take the bins away from the building and tidy up the bin area. This would require slabbing part of the grass area at the front and moving the existing metal fencing.

Morar Drive - Access Paths

2025-12-19  •  No comments  •  rho253  •  Housing Officer  •  Paisley South

The paths here are covered in moss and can become slippery. It would be ideal to have all of the access paths at the front and back of the buildings scraped to remove any moss and jet washed to clear and debris and make the paths safer. Some paths are worse than other but would like this project to be completed from 1-33 Morar Drive, Paisley.
