Free WiFi launched in Renfrew town centre

Free public WiFi has been rolled out in Renfrew town centre.

Visitors to the Burgh town now have fast and easy access to internet from key outdoor areas – as part of a wider push to make area town centres more attractive places to visit.

The Renfrewshire Council free public WiFi is active on High Street from the town hall to Queen St, and on Hairst Street/Canal Street between the junctions with Inchinnan Road and Station Road.

The service went live in the area around Johnstone High Street and Town Hall earlier this year, and will be switched on in key outdoor areas in Paisley town centre next month.

The free WiFi can also be accessed within many public buildings around the area – including town halls, libraries, council offices and some children’s homes.

Renfrewshire Council’s deputy leader Jim Paterson visited Renfrew town centre to test it out for himself.

He said:“The council made this investment in free public WiFi across our three biggest town centres to make them more attractive places to visit and drive footfall to local businesses.

“We live in an increasingly-connected world and access to fast, reliable internet is now an everyday necessity for many.

“This service is already proving popular in Johnstone and we are delighted Renfrew town centre can now benefit too, with Paisley to follow soon.”
