There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.The news comes in the same week councillors have raised concerns about a rise in antisocial behaviour and when figures show violent crime in Renfrewshire rose by nine per cent last year.
“It might be nice to believe that nothing bad happens after dark at the start of the week but that does not make it true.” Councillor Jamie McGuire, who last week spoke of the impact of antisocial behaviour in Renfrew, says the plans must be abandoned. The representative for Renfrew North and Braehead said: “I am alarmed by proposals to reduce or restructure Renfrewshire’s community warden service.
“Our residents deserve to live in a place where they feel safe and supported. Cutting back on community wardens would send entirely the wrong message – to the people who rely on their support and to those who engage in anti-social behaviour.
