'The lack of such facilities in the park has been an issue for local residents for many years.'
Include Me 2 Club would pay a rent of £1 per year and run a community hub, with cafe, meeting space and bike hire, from the lodge if the proposal is agreed.
The proposal is contrary to a council strategy on commercial leases, however the policy was agreed three years after negotiations with Include Me 2 Club had begun. Officials began developing proposals to bring the derelict gate lodge back, off Darnley Road, back into use in November 2018, with community engagement revealing preferred uses included a cafe, public toilets and social enterprise hub.
East Renfrewshire Council contributed £391,000 to the project, however an extra £200,000 was required from the Scottish Government due to increasing costs. For a lease to go ahead, the council had to secure court approval to temporarily dispose of the ‘Common Good’ status of Cowan Park gate lodge. The policy states tenants would then have to pay market rent or consider a community asset transfer request, meaning the Include Me 2 proposal is “not consistent with current policy”.
