Further roll-out of Linstone’s Car Club
Third new location in Linwood launched.
Linstone Housing has announced a further roll-out of its popular Car Club in Renfrewshire.
A third new location in Linwood has been launched, allowing even more people to become car club members and free themselves from the cost of motoring.
Linstone Housing – which runs the initiative – already has two locations where people can hire a car at Belmar Court, Linwood and at Arran Drive in Sandyflats, Johnstone. Now, the new location has been launched at Blackwood Avenue next to Linwood Parish Church.
The Sandyflats and Blackwood Avenue cars are electric vehicles while the Belmar Court’s vehicle is a hybrid car.
The expansion of the car club has come about after Linstone won £96,000 from Transport Scotland’s Plugged-In Households Grant Fund designed to help housing associations and community groups offer a local car club.
Linstone said it is proud to be playing its part, through the car club, to help address climate change as well as help more local people free themselves from the costs of owning a vehicle, with the option to hire one, by the hour, when it is needed.
