Summary 1.1 At the Council meeting of 28 February 2019, it was agreed to deliver a £40milion, five-year investment in Renfrewshire roads, cycling routes and pedestrian paths, representing the biggest ever investment of its kind. This will make journeys safer and easier, improve business connectivity, support development and town centre improvements and make it easier for visitors to enjoy Renfrewshire attractions. 1.2 The approach during 2019/20 will continue the progressive improvement of roads assets and fits with the asset management approach of seeking to reduce reactive revenue expenditure through prudent life cycle investment. 1.3 The focus for 2019/20 includes schemes within the strategic road network as well as roads of local significance with a presence in every town and village across Renfrewshire. A sustained effort will continue to ensure the highest quality of product will be used and contractors’ standards will be robustly monitored throughout the year. 1.4 There are a number of strategic roads where works are planned and as such, detailed communication plans will be developed for each of these to ensure stakeholder engagement is maintained going forward. -

Records of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt
Records of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt HlUm'uiVi^mryTUFTS ii'S^Slt 024 287 G7 J83 Records of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt Records of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt COMPILED BY " TANTIVY » Author of " Scottish Hunts," and Contributor of Special Articles to "The Glasgow Herald" 1921 GLASGOW: PRINTED BY AIRD & COGHILL, LTD. PREFACE. ACTING upon the suggestion of the retiring Master and other prominent members of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt, I have ventured to produce an historical record which it is hoped will meet with the appreciation of those interested. For the description of the sport of the past twenty seasons I am greatly indebted to the diaries so perfectly kept by the late Mr. J. J. Barclay, which were kindly placed at my disposal by Mr. G. Barclay. Without such a valuable asset no work of this kind could ever have been attempted, and I have made the fullest possible use of these records, so that sportsmen and sportswomen of the last quarter of a century can refresh their memory in regard to the many great runs enjoyed during that period. I hope I have succeeded in an effort to furnish a complete and unvarnished account of the doings of the pack, together with a history of the Hunt since its origin. Possibly, at some future time, another enthusiast will take up the pen and bring the records up to date. Harry Judd (" Tantivy "). CONTENTS.

Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile
Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile April 2010 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit claimant Profile 1. This incapacity benefit (IB) claimant profile for Renfrewshire gives detailed information on IB claimants by sex, age, reason for claiming IB and length of time on IB. It also contains IB claimant rates for the 38 intermediate zones in Renfrewshire (in 2008, Paisley Ferguslie had the highest IB rate at 23.1% and Houston South the lowest rate at 2.8%). 2. In 2008 there were 10,800 IB claimants in Renfrewshire. The IB rate, on flow rate and off flow rate were determined for Renfrewshire from 2000 to 2008. The percent of the working age population claiming IB has decreased from 12.3% to 10.2% from 2000 to 2008. The rate of on flow has decreased from 3.5% to 2.6% and the off flow rate has increased from 25.0% to 28.5%. 3. The proportion of ‘payment’ IB claimants is larger in Renfrewshire compared to Scotland for both males and females. The proportion of male and female ‘credits only’ IB claimants (those with a poor work history) have increased from 2000 to 2008. There are more female ‘credits only’ claimants than males in Renfrewshire. 4. The proportion of each age group who are claimants rises with age, peaking in the 60-64 age group. -

Headington, Bridge of Weir
M209 Headington, Bridge of Weir Introduction This large, L-shaped, roughcast detached house with curved gabled dormers derived from 17th-century Scottish vernacular architecture, is located in the affluent Renfrewshire commuter village of Bridge of Weir. It was built for Alfred Allison Todd, partner in Dunn & Todd, a Glasgow firm of chartered accountants. Authorship: Drawings showing a slightly different treatment of the house were in Mackintosh's possession at the time of his death, and suggest that he contributed to an early stage of the design process. The plan, materials and historical references have parallels with Windyhill and The Hill House, but the house was built according to drawings signed by John Keppie, and it seems likely that Keppie had overall control of the design. Alternative names: Easter Hill; Easterhill. Cost from job book: £2899 4s 8d Status: Standing building Current name: Easterhill Current use: Residential (2014) Listing category: B: Listed as 'Easterhill' Historic Scotland/HB Number: 12775 RCAHMS Site Number: NS36SE 74 Grid reference: NS 39620 64997 Chronology 1902 April: Earliest date on drawings submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District Master of Works department. 1 8 May: Contractor tenders accepted. 2 14 May: Application to build submitted to County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 3 13 June: Plans approved by County of Renfrew Second or Lower District. 4 1905 20 April: Final payments to main contractors. 5 Description Origin and names Alfred Todd commissioned John Honeyman & Keppie to design a cottage at Bridge of Weir in 1898. However, that project appears to have been abandoned following the tendering process. -
