A summary of these findings will be shared in due course, which will shape a clear plan of action for how future regeneration works will be taken forward. There will also be further opportunities for community input as plans develop.

We're set to invest in the Craigheads area of Barrhead to help improve the wellbeing of residents through targeted improvements to properties and the surrounding area, local services and community engagement.
Craigheads is a residential estate in Barrhead comprising of social housing, private rented and owner-occupied properties. The area has experienced long-standing environmental, social and wellbeing challenges and the Council recognises this requires a coordinated, place-based response.
The regeneration of Craigheads requires a holistic approach, combining physical improvements, service redesign and community-led initiatives. This work supports the Community Planning Partnership Vision, A Place to Grow, which sets the strategic direction for the whole East Renfrewshire area to 2040.
Initial works are set to get underway in April including targeted repairs, jet washing, one-off close cleans, environmental improvements and securing communal doors. The Council is keen to involve Craigheads residents and the local community.
If you would like to get involved or submit ideas for improvements, e-mail housingcustomer@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk.
Craigheads residents will also receive information on this project in writing.
