Proposals have been put forward for a new car park and bus park facility to allow pupils to be dropped off and picked up safely away from a public road.

The application for planning permission has been submitted by Renfrewshire Council for a vacant plot of land next to Dargavel Primary on Arrochar Drive.

The site of the proposed works is rough unfinished ground which was previously used during the construction of the new school.

The plot sits approximately one-metre below road level and the application outlines plans for a one-way system ramping in and out for vehicles and pedestrians.

The project would also include the installation of street lighting and CCTV.

The application was received and validated by planners on October 16 and is currently awaiting decision.
