£20k windfall for RSPB site on the table for councillors

A Renfrewshire nature reserve could land almost £20,000 to enhance a visitor seating and experience zone - if elected members give the green light next week.

RSPB Lochwinnoch is in line for a windfall from the council’s villages investment fund which, if approved, will go towards the installation of a 13ft wooden gazebo and other improvements at the site.

The plans follow the opening of a modular building at the reserve entrance, which offers a small shop and reception area, during the summer.

Councillors will be asked to rubber-stamp an award of £19,236.89 (£13,820.49 capital and £5,416.40 revenue) to the conservation charity at the communities and housing policy board on Tuesday.
