This represents 1.9 per cent. of the agency's total expenditure over the same period. During that period no factors arose which caused the agency to alter its expenditure priorities in Renfrew district. On 18 February 1986 Paisley and Renfrew Enterprise Trust was launched. The agency is committed to providing £63,500 over three years in support of the trust's activities.
