The poly tunnel, many tools and plants were destroyed by fi re. The garden group and other volunteers rallied and a clean-up was carried out on Sunday July 30th. In addition we had support from the Unpaid Work team from Renfrewshire Council who took away all the destroyed material. Peter Livingstone of the group put out a fundraising appeal on GoFundMe. https://www.gofundme.com/lochwinnoch-community-garden To date there is £2,275 been donated, what generous people!! In addition we got £1,900 from the RLA grant application. We hope to get the garden back in shape in the autumn (we think our garden is the 'Phoenix Garden’ growing out of the fl ames and ashes!!)

september 2017 kilbarchan - howwood - lochwinnoch - elderslie The civic inbox has been very full lately and while I do not promise to resolve all problems and dilemmas I do promise to do my best to resolve them. I am pleased that a long standing issue in Howwood may be resolved as the Council’s Community Payback Team has agreed at my request to ensure the steps between Bowfi eld Road and Midton Road are swept of leaves as Autumn approaches. Due to cuts the Council has only committed to a monthly sweep but due to the Payback Team this should be doubled. I have been engaged in correspondence with the General Trustees of the Church of Scotland regarding their plans for the former Kilbarchan West Church, and Church Hall. My logic in doing so was to ensure the Trustees were taking full account of the mind of the village regarding any ideas for its future use, and I have made clear to them that Kilbarchan Community Council must kept abreast of all developments. Shortly the former church and hall should be put on the open market for sale. Before long we will be approaching November, the month of remembrance, and with that in mind I have been encouraging Renfrewshire Council to carry out repointing and renovation work at Lochwinnoch War Memorial. Hopefully this will not be the end but only the beginning of a more comprehensive upgrade of what is one of Renfrewshire’s most striking memorials to those who have both served and died for their country. My advice surgery in Kilbarchan is on the 2nd Wednesday of the month in the Steeple Hall at 7.30pm, and my advice surgery in Howwood is at 6.30pm on the 4th Wednesday of the month, and then in Lochwinnoch the same night in the McKillop at 7.30pm, all excluding July and Christmas. But I am also always available to constituents who can call me on 07534 148224, tweet me on CllrAndy4Ward8 or e-mail me at cllr.andy.doig@renfrewshire.gov.uk. kilbarchan - howwood - lochwinnoch - elderslie Lochwinnoch SWI We hope you have enjoyed the summer in spite of it being of the soggy variety! It is now time to turn our thoughts to autumn and winter activities.
