What struck me most when in Barrhead was just how thriving a community it is with a new sports centre and the central council offices setting off a major regeneration of the area and being delivered by Labour East Renfrewshire Council.
Paul O’Kane is a member of that council and is driven by his desire to ensure all residents get the best chance to succeed so it was good when I was there that we were talking about the opportunities for young people and the need to invest in Scotland’s future.
