The Craigheads Regeneration Steering Group was a new partnership between East Renfrewshire Council and residents of Craigheads.

The Steering Group worked to match the resources of the Council with the knowledge of Craigheads residents to help create the plans to regenerate Craigheads, and then to see it through.  The Steering Group was not a talking shop.  It is a group which will have a direct and visible impact on Craigheads for many years to come.

The Steering Group recognises that the issues facing Craigheads do not exist in isolation.  All of the issues our community faces all tie into each other, including

• Issues with housing stock, including roofing, roughcasting, fire damaged properties, and electricity
• Environmental issues, including lighting, landscaping, and common public spaces
• Community health and wellbeing, including safety, physical health, access to public transportation and services, and even the availability of garden areas
• Employability and training

The Group sought to identify the best people and the best solutions to address each of these issues.

The Steering Group held meetings in July, September, and October 2008.  No further meetings are planned at this time.
