Renfrewshire Council

These homes will add to the local council housing supply, meeting the need for affordable homes and enhancing the local area. 

New Council houses 

McTaggart Construction have been awarded the contract to design and build 65 homes at a vacant site off Montgomery Road. 

The development will provide a mix of property types and sizes including cottage flats with direct access and garden areas, bungalows and houses.  

Many will be wheelchair-accessible and include 5-bedroom Council homes for the first time. 

They'll also meet the highest standards in energy efficiency, coming complete with air source heat pumps and solar panels. 

The development will also see the play park being relocated and upgraded nearby. 

Public consultation drop-in event 

McTaggart Construction are holding a public consultation event on Tuesday 28 May 2024 between 3pm and 7pm at Gallowhill Community Centre (166 Netherhill Road, Paisley, PA3 4SF). 

You can drop in any time to:  

• See the initial proposals and discuss them with the housebuilder McTaggart Construction 
• Speak to our housing team

• Get involved in forming a tenant and resident group 

Provide feedback online 

McTaggart Construction are sharing the initial proposals online from Monday 20 May until Friday 31 May 2024.

During this time there's a short online survey to capture your feedback. 

What happens next 

Feedback gathered at the public consultation drop-in event and through online feedback will shape the final designs and site layout.
