Glenburn is a large neighbourhood located south of Paisley. It is very close to the beautiful Gleniffer Braes. Glenburn is a great place to live with three primary schools: Bushes Primary, Langcraigs Primary, and St. Peter's Primary. You can find a public library and many shops at Skye Crescent. More shops are also located on Braehead Road and Glenburn Road. Another nearby neighbourhood is Foxbar, also in Paisley.

Making Glenburn Even Better

Recently, a new plan was started to help improve Glenburn. This plan is called the Glenburn Estate Management Agreement. It brings together people from the community and different groups to work as a team. Their goal is to make sure Glenburn keeps getting better for everyone who lives there.

How the Agreement Works

Many different groups are involved in this plan. These groups help with things like housing, keeping the land tidy, and planning for the future. They have promised to provide good services for the community. A big part of the plan is making sure that people living in Glenburn can help decide what improvements are needed. Getting the community involved is a top priority.

What the Agreement Covers

The Glenburn Estate Management Agreement covers many important services. These include:

  • Making sure homes are well-maintained.
  • Keeping parks and green spaces neat.
  • Cleaning the streets regularly.
  • Community policing to keep everyone safe.
  • Maintaining roads and pavements.
  • Ensuring utility services (like water and electricity) work well.
  • Finding ways for the community to take more responsibility for their local environment.

Glenburn is one of the latest communities in Renfrewshire to benefit from this type of agreement. Other areas like Ferguslie, Moorpark, Foxbar, and West Johnstone have also used similar plans to improve their neighbourhoods.
