The new service is sponsored by the SPT and goes from Kilmacolm, Quarriers, Bridge of Weir, Houston, Linwood, and Johnstone. Given that Johnstone is the largest town in West Renfrewshire with a population of 17,000 I have continually stressed to McGills that it is crucial that those without private transport who live in Linwood, Houston, Crosslee, and Brookfield have easy access to the town for a myriad of reasons. What I have also made clear to all those constituents who have contacted me is that McGills intend to review the new 1 and 1a, 2 and 2a services in six months time so it is crucial that all village residents ensure the new service is well used. Many constituents are saying to me that the time when private bus companies run the roost should be over as they tend to put the needs of commerce before the needs of communities. I agree with this and indeed the last full meeting of Renfrewshire Council unanimously agreed that the Scottish Government should seriously consider allowing us to oversee local bus services, as was the case prior to 1986. The Community Councils in my ward, and indeed many other community groups, will be familiar with the Local Area Committees which Renfrewshire Council established in 2007 to dispense grants to local community groups. This framework has been a great success but there have been a few good reasons to review their structures and how they operate. Up until now Houston, Crosslee, and Brookfield have been in the same LAC as large conurbations like Linwood and Erskine, under the new LAC structure the villages in my ward will now be in the same LAC as other villages such as Kilbarchan, Howwood, and Lochwinnoch. I think this is a positive move as there should be a greater focus on the requirements and needs of our village communities across Renfrewshire. houston, crosslee & brookfield Sewing Class Got a sewing machine but never used it or just lost confidence?
