Alcohol and drugs outreach service contract

It is a big attraction...so a new bike hub and changing space would only increase its popularity

A contract for an alcohol and drugs crisis outreach service will go before Renfrewshire councillors for approval.

Elected members will be asked to authorise senior officers awarding a deal for the initiative to charitable organisation Change, Grow, Live tomorrow.

If given the green light at the council's finance, resources and customer services policy board, the agreement will be for a period of two years with an option to extend for a further year, dependent 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.
