£126m plans to improve deprived village backed

Plans to transform one of Scotland's most deprived communities have been given the go-ahead.

The Scottish Government has approved a £126m masterplan to regenerate the village of Ferguslie Park in Paisley, Renfrewshire.

The masterplan includes proposals for new homes, a new health centre, a new community centre, and a new primary school.

It also includes plans for improved public transport links, new green spaces, and new play areas.

The masterplan was developed by Renfrewshire Council, in partnership with the local community.

The Scottish Government has provided £50m towards the cost of the masterplan, with the remaining £76m coming from Renfrewshire Council.

The masterplan is expected to be completed by 2025.

The masterplan is expected to create around 1,000 jobs and boost the local economy by £100m.

It is also expected to improve the quality of life for local residents by providing them with access to better housing, healthcare, education, and leisure facilities.

The Scottish Government's approval of the masterplan is a major step forward for the regeneration of Ferguslie Park.

It is a clear demonstration of the Scottish Government's commitment to tackling poverty and deprivation in Scotland.

Ferguslie Park is one of the most deprived communities in Scotland.

It has high levels of unemployment, poverty, and crime.

The masterplan is designed to address these issues and create a more sustainable and prosperous community.

The masterplan is a long-term project, but it is expected to have a major impact on the lives of local residents.

It is a positive step forward for Ferguslie Park and for Scotland as a whole.
