The minutes of our committee meeting have now been published along with our follow up email to RMG.
As referenced in the meeting minutes, the results from our recent survey have also been collated and the data from this survey has been published alongside the meeting minutes. In addition we have also published our feedback to RMG on what we consider the requirements are for any new property manager appointed to Dargavel.
With Dargavel continuing to grow and a number of relatively new parcels now occupied across the estate, we desperately need new parcel representatives to ensure that the whole development is represented and that we can continue to build on the work done to date.
We are currently a small group of volunteers predominantly from the more established parcels but it would be great to welcome some new members to give us greater resource and who may hopefully also bring new skills and expertise to the table. Many parcels currently have no representation on the committee but we believe it is important that all parcels have a voice so that they can benefit from the experience gained by the committee to date and feed into the issues that affect us all.
What does volunteering entail?
The committee generally meets at least quarterly with RMG with regular discussion in the background as things happen over the course of the year. We are actively engaged with RMG, BAE, Bishopton Community Council and Renfrewshire Council on all matters affecting the Dargavel development and wider Bishopton.
Our next committee meeting is approaching and it would be great to meet some fellow residents who are willing to spare a little time or expertise to help carry on the work of the committee. Check out the minutes of previous meetings for more information on the type of issues we are discussing with RMG and other stakeholders – Meeting Minutes – Dargavel Residents Association
Where do I sign up?
If you’re interested in finding out more please email and we’ll be in touch asap.
After a busy few months we thought it would be useful if we compiled an update for residents of what the Residents Committee have been working on over recent months and what lies ahead for 2021. To that end please feel free to download our January 2021 newsletter published both here and on the community facebook group.

Further to tonight’s meeting of the Residents Committee we have the final listing of the parcel meetings that have been scheduled over the next few weeks. Representatives of the Residents Committee will be attending each parcel meeting to give a brief overview of the Committee and our activities to date.
Parcel Meetings Schedule
It has been confirmed by RMG that they have written to residents of parcels that are under their management to invite them to a parcel meeting as per the following schedule:
22/06/2018 – H3 (Taylor Wimpey [Dargavel North])
25/06/2018 – H6 (Cala)
26/06/2018 – H2 (Persimmon /Charles Church)
29/06/2018 – H4B (Stewart Milne)
03/07/2018 – H5 (Taylor Wimpey [Dargavel South])
05/07/2018 – E4 (Persimmon [Dargavel South])
The parcel meetings are being held in Bishopton Community Centre at 19:00 with an expected duration of around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
If you live in one of the parcels listed above but have not yet received a letter this may be because you have recently moved into your parcel and RMG have not yet received confirmation from your developer that your plot is now occupied. We understand that this information is not necessarily passed through to RMG immediately and may be included as part of a periodic update process.
Parcels Not Listed Above
If you have not yet received a letter regarding your parcel meeting, this is likely to be because your parcel is not yet under the management of RMG. The RMG representatives who attended tonight’s meeting have advised that until the developers of the relevant parcels (H7 Persimmon and H10 Taylor Wimpey) have handed over part or all of the parcel to RMG for management, they have no power to call a parcel meeting. Once handover of your parcel has been completed, a parcel meeting will be called in line with the individual deed of conditions applicable to your parcel. We believe that this is likely to be around 12 months after completion of handover but your deed of conditions will specify the exact process.
In the meantime if you have any queries regarding your parcel or the wider estate, RMG would encourage you to contact them directly by phone (0345 002 4499), email () or via RMG Living’s Webchat or email enquiry form.
We would also encourage residents to contact the Residents Committee directly by email at and we shall be pleased to assist or to direct your query to the property manager as appropriate.
Join the Committee
We are also taking the opportunity to invite residents from each parcel to nominate themselves for election to the Committee. We would encourage anyone who is interested in joining the Committee to attend their respective parcel meeting and nominate themselves for election. The hope is that we can appoint up to three representatives from each parcel to ensure we have adequate representation from across the village.
