Organisations involved in housing, regeneration, planning and environmental issues have pledged to deliver services to agreed standards. And all involved have pledged that promoting community involvement in the development of the services is "a priority".

Councillor Brian Lawson, Renfrewshire Council's housing spokesperson, welcomed the new agreement, saying: "The development of this agreement is a positive step for the community in this area. It's important that the council and other organisations working in the area have worked together to deliver agreed levels of service."

"It's equally important that people living in the Cart Corridor play their part in helping the agreement work properly for the benefit of everyone living in the area."

Pat Higgins of the New Shortroods Action Group said: "The Estate Management Agreement is really good for the area as all agencies are working together with the community to improve the quality of the estate we live in."

Among the services and issues which are covered in the estate management agreement are:

• housing
• land maintenance
• street cleaning
• community policing
• roads and pavements
• local environment

The Cart Corridor is the latest community in Renfrewshire to benefit from an estate management agreement following on from Ferguslie, Moorpark, Foxbar, West Johnstone and Glenburn.
