A decision on the future of an old church hall in Paisley has been delayed as more information is sought on certain aspects of a charity's plans for the site.

Ferguslie Community Development Trust (FCDT) wants to transform the former St Ninian's Church Hall in Blackstoun Road into a thriving community hub.

Its request for a long-term lease of the facility - which has lain vacant in recent years - was continued at a meeting of the community asset transfer (CAT) subcommittee.

This recommendation was made to allow FCDT to provide more information on a number of areas, including matters relating to potential funding options and partnership work in the area.
