A small army charity's bid to return an old Paisley barracks to its former glory has landed a major boost after a community asset transfer was agreed.Western Desert Recce Group (WDRG) will pay £1 to take over the Whitehaugh Barracks from Renfrewshire Council – paving the way for the organisation to begin an ambitious restoration project.The group wants to transform the run-down building into a thriving community hub, with a working and living history museum, which would showcase old military vehicles.It has now been given the opportunity to do that after councillors approved its request at Wednesday's community asset transfer sub-committee.Senior officers have been authorised to conclude the sale of the C-listed barracks, which is located in Whitehaugh Avenue.WDRG's aim is for the facility to provide a space where it can run activities, create a vehicle repair and restoration workshop, display heritage vehicles and equipment, share the group's knowledge and deliver mentoring and education sessions to visitors.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
