Local regeneration projects
25/03/2003
An additional £5 million to boost local regeneration projects in five local authority areas has been announced.
The money is for specific projects in:
- East Ayrshire £1,012,000
- Inverclyde £839,000
- North Ayrshire £1,193,000
- North Lanarkshire £1,000,000
- West Dunbartonshire £956,000
Enterprise Minister Iain Gray said :
"We are targeting this extra money at those areas of severe economic disadvantage which need it most, so that it can contribute to local regeneration efforts.
" The £5 million should make a real difference to local projects such as improving road access to development sites, preparing sites for development and environmental improvements to town centres."
The £5 million available for spending in 2003-04 arises from underspend in Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Department's 2002-03 budget.
