There are a range of businesses taking part, including cafes, hair salons, local businesses and even a music school.

“Local businesses need your support more than ever this year,” she said.
“Our independent shops and businesses are what helps to make Paisley town centre special.
“We appreciate it when our community supports us, so these offers are to say thank you for that support, and to show just what great value our local businesses are.
“Spending just £5 a week in Paisley town centre can make a big difference to our local businesses and helps keep our town centre alive.”
