£600k to upgrade historic Renfrew Baths
Paisley Daily Express
|June 13, 2025
Hundreds of thousands of pounds are set to be spent on the iconic Renfrew Victory Baths after investment was given the green light by elected members yesterday, writes Jack Thomson, Local Democracy Reporter.
A total of £600,000 has been earmarked to fund steps to extend the life of the B-listed building, including works beneath the pool, concrete and masonry repairs, roof and drainage upgrades and general improvements to maintain the character of the facility.
Its status as a Renfrew Common Good asset means the costs will be shared between the common good fund and Renfrewshire Council, with the common good contribution capped at £500,000.
