A campaigning councillor has praised recent renovation work carried out at a historic landmark in Johnstone.
The shelter, known locally as The Shed, is located in the Quarrelton area of Beith Road and is often used by pedestrians as a resting place.
Councillor Iain McMillan, who represents Johnstone South, said he was "totally delighted" by recent work carried out at the site by Renfrewshire Council.
He told The Gazette: "It looks really good, they've done a cracking job on it.
"I'm very pleased and it was certainly one of the things I hoped I could sort out when I got re-elected.
"It is a historic part of the town and everybody here is familiar with it.
"People of a certain age will remember the local characters who used it as a hangout spot."
Councillor McMillan also commended the earlier work of volunteers, especially local barber Robert McDowall, to help clean up the site.
The Labour man said: "I know the council has done a more formal job in terms of fixing the roof and all the rest of it, but the volunteers deserve enormous praise as well.
"These kind of things start off with community work and Robert in particular did a really good job in tidying it up."
As well as the shelter, nearby Gordon Square was recently spruced up by Renfrewshire Council.
Work carried out by the local authority at the two sites included replacing rotted timber and slates, cutting back foliage and vegetation, weeding, sweeping, cleaning and tidying up.
Councillor McMillan is now hoping that further work will take place at Gordon Square and a nearby small stone archway that reads 'Rest and be Thankful' above a bench.
He added: "Gordon Square needs badly spruced up. I know the council were doing some tidying up and that's great, but it needs a little more attention.
"I'll be asking local residents on social media what they want to see done, because I want to make sure the community are involved and it's not just a wee pet project of a councillor."
A Renfrewshire Council spokesperson said: "We've carried out a range of improvement works to the shelter on Beith Road and nearby Gordon Square to ensure they are accessible and able to be enjoyed by local residents.
"We are happy to consider how other popular local assets can be maintained."
