The initiative is said to be in the "early stages of development" but works are expected to cover vegetation clearance, weed removal and planting and pressure cleaning.

That's according to a paper discussed at the infrastructure, land and environment policy on Wednesday, with elected members expressing their approval of the one-year project.

Among the roundabouts proposed are those in Ferry Road in Bishopton, Linwood Toll and St James Interchange in Paisley and the Cochranemill roundabouts in Beith Road and Kilbarchan Road in Johnstone.
