Vital step Councillor Graeme Clark says the contract award is an investment in saving lives
A contract for an alcohol and drugs crisis outreach service has been approved by Renfrewshire councillors in a move dubbed an "investment in saving lives".
Elected members authorised senior officers to award a deal for the initiative to nationwide charitable organisation Change, Grow, Live.
The step was rubber stamped at a meeting of the council's finance, resources and customer services policy board and the agreement will be for two years with an option to extend for a further year, depending on funding.
The contract which is worth almost £300,000 per annum - is anticipated to start on Friday, August 1, however, the date will be confirmed in the local authority's letter of acceptance.
