JIM FOR PAISLEY – Working for Residents.

Paisley Deserves More

This website outlines what I'd like to do to help 'REGENERATE PAISLEY' and you'll read my 'no holds barred' belief of what I think is wrong at Renfrewshire Council.

It's time to get involved!

VOTE - FOR A BETTER PAISLEY!

"If Renfrewshire Council wants to regenerate our Town - IT MUST, UP ITS GAME. - Renfrewshire Council owns over 150 properties throughout the borough but only THREE within Paisley town centre. - Spending £42m on a museum that could only have worked had we got the City of Culture title is a momentus mistake." - Jim McIlroy.

Renfrewshire Council Local Elections

Local Government is where the decisions that matter to people, in their communities and impact on all of us every day are agreed. - Its about schools, education, community issues, waste and recycling, housing, care for the elderly, nurseries, childcare, planning and regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, jobs and apprenticeships, roads, transport, parking, and council tax.

Holyrood or Westminster, where NATIONAL POLICY is agreed is often used as a "smokescreen" in local politics to bash one party or another, "but please do not confuse the two". - Local elections are about Local Services and having Councillors (who you think) will make a difference and deliver better services for your council tax money! - On these pages you'll find out what I've done and I'm doing as a local activist.

THIS COUNCIL NEEDS TO CHANGE!

"Local Elections are NOT about national decisions. Theyre about delivering (Local Services) and making sure our communities are (well-served) by Councillors you voted for. - Local Elections are also the time to tell some THEY'VE NOT DONE ENOUGH - And it's an opportunity to elect 'CLLRS' who WILL make the NEEDED CHANGES"

Community Issues are So Important

Every electoral ward has issues however some are being left behind due to (weak representation) by current councillors. - To give an instance - "NOT ONE PAISLEY SOUTHEAST COUNCILLOR" has reached out to offer help to the most important campaign in Paisley at this time. "Save the RAI Campaign".

The old RAI is something I'm (fighting to save) and we have plans for an exciting blend of housing, community, leisure and commercial venue that will be unique to the Southend and will bring local jobs and footfall to the area. - I'm campaigning for this heritage building as I believe (the next five-years) will be important for Paisley and it's regeneration - and I'd be honoured to do more for my home town.

PAISLEY REGENERATION!

"In the individual wards its even "MORE IMPORTANT" you elect Councillors, who will work for you. - On my travels around the ward residents told me things they're concerned about and feel are not being addressed. - See above although roads throughout the ward are an issue in Glenburn are particularly bad!"

The SAVE the RAI Campaign

This is my campaign to "STOP THE ROT" and save an important Paisley landmark from the (wrecking ball)
Whether I'm elected or not I will go on from there and put a "STOP" to absent owners who are neglecting important buildings, who have "NO INTEREST" in our Town and are obliterating our HISTORY.

It's been a great success and I've managed to make this Council take more action than they've done in the last DECADE. - In the last year almost 1,500 Paisley Buddies have backed me, as they want to put an end to people who buy listed buildings and do nothing with them. - And We're Getting Things Done!

			"Rental holidays, profit share leases and other forward-thinking incentives can reenergise the 'High Street' and bring back footfall and the kind of COMMUNITY PRIDE I believe Paisley Buddies want.- We can beat the out of town malls and bring jobs back to OUR town!" - Jim McIlroy.



	
								
		

			
	
	
	
			
		
							
					
					
													
								MY PROMISE
								
																	
															
							
						
							I PROMISE to work hard to  "CHANGE THINGS LOCALLY". I believe Paisley Buddies want that community feel back and a reenergised High Street and I'll to do all I can to help  bring real change for the people of Paisley.
						
											
				
								
					
					
													
								PEOPLE NOT POLITICS
								
																	
															
							
						
							I'm about ACTION and PEOPLE and getting things done, I'm not about POLITICS! -  I'm already (doing more locally) than any of your councillors with my SAVE the RAI Campaign and -  I intend to do more.
						
											
				
								
					
					
													
								I'M A LOCAL CAMPAIGNER!
								
																	
															
							
						
							For me it's about residents FIRST and community improvement. - I'm a local campaigner doing that NOW. I believe if you support "local champions" who are making a difference that these are the people who will ultimately deliver REAL CHANGE for the town.

							Work on local issues to better communities. I'm working with Renfrewshire Council to SAVE THE RAI, to deliver improvements and better services, I intend to engage with local businesses to get behind initiatives and deliver new jobs and real change. - For the people of Paisley.

			I will work with residents on community issues. – People voices need to be heard and I'm not seeing that from this council and that needs to change. - Paisley needs better services, education, roads, transport, homes, jobs and a better NHS. - This town used to have a great High Street and a sense of community and it can again. - If we hold Renfrewshire Council to account!
