An update has been issued on the new public garden at the site where the Brown Institute once stood in Renfrew after delays to the development.

The project intends to "honour the legacy" of the former B-listed building in Canal Street and create a "vibrant area" for the community.

Councillor Jamie McGuire has now confirmed that Landscapes and Contracts have been appointed by the local authority to carry out the works, with work due to start on site week commencing October 19.

The council expects the garden space to be completed before the end of the year, the Reform councillor confirmed in a social media post.

McGuire added: "It will be good to finally see the site regenerated and brought back into use very soon.

"I’ll continue to keep an eye on the progress and provide updates as the work gets underway."

The facility is expected to include pathways, seating and a mix of trees and plants as well as architectural features from the landmark.
