COUNCILLORS VOTE TO REINSTATE EVENT
A return of the much-loved Johnstone Fire Engine Rally could be on the cards as Renfrewshire Council develops a calendar of cultural events for its town centres.
Councillor Andy Doig delivered a plea to reinstate the popular parade of the vintage engines from the fire station to Houstoun Square at last week's full council meeting.
The independent politician received the unanimous support of elected members in the chambers for his motion on Thursday.
The call was issued amid a suggestion the hot topic may already be under consideration by the local authority as part of a £150,000 budget investment.
