East Renfrewshire Council

East Renfrewshire Council pledges to:

Challenge ourselves to increase the positive impact we make on our local community and make better use of our assets – our buildings/grounds and our people.

In the next six months we will do at least three things that we don’t do at the moment to improve our social impact.

Signed, Lorraine McMillan, Chief Executive, August 2019
