Paisley Community Trust (PCT) have revealed more details, including images of their plans for a cinema and performing arts theatre complex in the centre of Paisley.

The complex, costing £24.7m, would include a three to five screen cinema and a 500 seat theatre. It would be built on a site behind the former Arnotts building on Gauze Street.
